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.
B57O - ROUGH RUNNING WITH CRANKSHAFT AND ZERO-QUANTITY ADAPTATION FAULTS: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illuminated and the engine may run roughly while idling and accelerating.
