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.
Check engine lamp illuminated and/or vehicle overheats. Models E83, E85, E86, E70, E90, E91, E92, E93, E60 and E61.
