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.
During the cold start in the morning, the engine runs very roughly and the service engine soon lamp is illuminated. Models E82, E88, E90, E92, E93, E60, and E61. Model years unknown.
