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.

The value of the low-pressure fuel supply sensor will read 0 bar at all times. * B1214_DI6KNDR * D18KHDR * AT1214_DIKNDR * AT1214_DIKHDR Do not replace the low-pressure fuel supply sensor.
