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.
SI B11 14 15 October 2015 Engine Technical Service This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B11 14 15 dated October 2015. The plastic oil filter housing may fail and lead to an internal and/or external engine oil or coolant leak.
