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.

Due to an software error, the adaptation values of the actuator contiguous wheel slip limitation (ARB) may be lost.
