SIB 28 01 23: Transmission warning message
Transmission warning message on B46/B48 engines (2022–2025); BMW gives an inspection and repair procedure.
BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11015855 · Mar 2025 · also written SI B28 01 23, B280123
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 message (790) “Emergency gearbox release activated” is displayed immediately after starting the engine. This applies only to U11 equipped with the 7-speed M-DCT transmission.
