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.

THE VERTICAL DYNAMICS PLATFORM (VDP) ERRONEOUSLY DISPLAYS NOTICE OF FAULT . The VDP displays notices of detected faults, but has no fault in the error memory.
