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.
ENGINE OIL CBS DATA WILL NOT RESET: Service Interval Indicator (SIA) for the engine oil Condition Based Service (CBS) cannot be reset or corrected via the instrument cluster or diagnostic tester.
