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.

CHECK CONTROL (CC) MESSAGE:""COOLANT LEVEL TOO LOW!"" IS DISPLAYED. CC message: ""Coolant level too low!"" appears in the display. The cooling system wasn't efficiently bled during the factory fill."
