BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10147858 · Dec 2015 · also written SI B09 06 15, B090615

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.

New programming feature: Exclusion of Infotainment Control Units from Programming.
