BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10147016 · Aug 2016 · also written SI B36 01 16, B360116

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.

ROBUSTNESS MEASURE: LOW PROFILE TIRES. Low profile tires have a higher likelihood of failure from road surface and debris impacts. Distance from wheel to tire is shorter than standard profile tires.
