BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10151075 · Feb 2016 · also written SI B12 01 16, B120116
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.
This could result in incorrect engine torque and mismatched ignition parameters with the possibility of internal engine damage.
