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.

DELIVERY STOP: PROGRAM CONTROL UNITS (DME): BMW AG has issued a Delivery Stop (effective March 5 2020) on a small number of Model Year 2020 BMW vehicles that were produced starting on February 14 2018.
