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.
DELIVERY STOP: REPLACE FLYWHEEL BOLTS: The flywheel bolts may not be tightened to the correct torque.
