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 - Transmission Oil Cooler Lines Incorrectly Routed. A Delivery Stop has been issued for fifteen F15 vehicles produced from March 3, 2016 to March 28, 2016. In these vehicles the cooler lines for the automatic transmission may have been routed incorrectly.
