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.
8HP50 TRANSMISSIONS GEAR SHIFTS FROM REVERSE TO NEUTRAL: After a cold start, when the transmission gear selector is placed in R and driving resumes, intermittently transmission may shift to Neutral
