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.
F2X F3X -THE ENGINE STARTS THEN SWITCHES OFF IMMEDIATELY: After starting the engine and immediately selecting a drive gear, the engine may switch off.
