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.

Reduced Engine Power with ""Charging Pressure Too High"" Faults Stored. When accelerating under certain conditions, the engine power may be reduced and a Check Control Message (CCM) ""Drive Faulty; Drive at moderate speed"" is displayed.
