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 emergency park release cable has been removed in these models and there is a procedure to disengage the park lock. 2011 E70/E71. Updated on 06/08/2011.
