BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10040845 · Mar 2015 · also written SI B11 07 11, B110711
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.
Loss of performance and turbocharger noise due to the oil supply restricted, causing oil starvation and resulting in the seizing of the turbocharger assembly.
