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.

Service Action: Program Control Units (OBD). Due to a DME software error, the required On Board Diagnosis data (OBD) monitoring of vehicle wheel speed does not function.
