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.
N63: Drop in Engine Speed While Turning at Low Speeds. The engine speed may drop significantly below normal idling speed if the steering wheel is turned sharply at lower road speeds. Unfavorable DME software
