BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10058986 · Jul 2015

What it covers

A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.

The plastic oil filter might fail which will cause a leakage to the internal and /or external engine oil or coolant
