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.

DELIVERY STOP: CAMSHAFT SENSORS. On affected vehicles the camshaft sensors will be inspected and if necessary replaced.
