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.

Service Action: Check and Replace Cup Holder. A cup holder with no clamping elements may have been installed in affected vehicles.
