Transmission service information on BMW E82/E85/E86/E88 and other models (2006–2011); BMW explains the cause and the approved repair.

BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10036980 · Jun 2010 · also written SI B28 02 08, B280208

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.

A new technical process is being used on many models to determine the root cause of double-clutch transmission problems.
