Did any of you 63 guys get this recall? and do any of you know what it is?

I have to go back for more work (minor annoying stuff) so I don't have the paperwork on it yet but all they would tell me is that it had something to do with adding support brackets to the upper intake. They assured me that the upper intake was not replaced.

I brought it in for the other things and they told me this had to be done.

annoying things like brakes and tires + Vibration??

You Got it, I guess you are having the same exact issues?

Brakes still squeeking after 2 service appointments already, car vibrates when applying the brakes softly in the 50-60 MPH range, door sill molding thingie falling off it's clips and has to be replaced, "check oil at next fill-up" warning and oil is full (they told me they topped it off and that was the problem yet it still persists, pulling in my garage the gage cluster turns red and tells me the car is in park. They are replacing the rotors and some suspension bushing next time I bring it in for the vibration, not sure about the rest yet. Awesome car yet a maintenance nightmare so far with just under 6K miles on it. Been told repeatedly that the brake squeek is normal and they refuse to fix it, maybe new rotors being replaced for the vibration will help, I will insist on pads too but I don't think that is in their plans, I will insist and or pay for the pads if I have too.

Any word regarding the, "check oil at next fill-up" message? I just had this message pop up and I checked the oil level and everything looks fine? I will call to schedule my 1000 mile service appointment tomorrow to check this message and the squeaking breaks that just started 30 miles ago!

I mentioned the same issue to my dealer and they said there was a replacement oil dipstick. I guess the original dipstick was not accurate.

As MBTEK had posted, the modified pads/shims for the rear brakes are now a DTB so your dealer can fix the squeal.

I took mine in 3 times for this issues;

First time I was told the oil level was .4 liters low from the factory
Second time I was told no problem found and no indication in the computer that the warning ever came on
Third time (after pulling into the dealership to actually show the warning was on) I was told no problem found, nothing in the computer, however the warning has not come on since. Something was done if ya ask me, either way it is gone so I am happy.

As far as the brakes squeeling that is gone for now as well. All 4 rotors and all pads were replaced for the shaking problem, as they refused to address the squeeling saying it was normal for ceramic pads on fixed calipers. Shaking is gone as well.

I have 8,000 miles on my E63 and it has been in for service 7 times. So far I would say it has been a service nightmare. If the car was no so unbelievable I would have gone insane by now. If I have to drive another crappy loaner C230 I might go postal!!!!!

Regarding some of the mentioned issues:
1. My oil light has come on twice (2,000 & 4,500 miles).Both times I added 1/2 quart of oil and light has disappeared. (Just for comparisons, my '02 Z06 had the same problem, it would burn oil every 2-3,000 miles and a liitle needed to be added)
2. My driver side intake hose dislodges from the air filter holder, so I incorporated a self fix. Placed a clamp and intake is now fine. Try to take it to dealer as little as possible. Now these are all minor issues but issues non the less.

Just for clarification mine was never an oil level issue where it may be yours. My light came on driving home from the dealer after they topped off the .4 liters they said it was low.

1200 miles on my 08 and no problems at all.
