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.

F15, F30 PHEVs- Gear Selector Plausibility Faults. The Check Control message ""Drive: Stop carefully"" (CCM-ID: 569) is displayed.
