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.

Fitting Winter Tires Properly to Vehicles with Ceramic Brakes. Wheel studs may loosen after wheels for the rear axle are incorrectly fitted to the front axle on vehicles equipped with option 2NK (ceramic brakes).
