BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10149286 · Oct 2014
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.
INFORMATION This section only applies to vehicles that require cleaning the intake valve and intake ports. Refer to the applicable Service Information bulletin or ETK if carbon cleaning was not the root cause for the complaint. Reuse the strut brace bolts.
