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.

At this time, a repair solution is being developed. You will be update when information becomes available. There are a total of three (3) vehicles affected.
