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.

Driver's Seat will not Return to Saved Position. The driver's seat adjustment does not return to the saved position after changing the driver profiles (Personal Profile). NOTE: the setting for both remote keys must be selected in vehicle setting to ""Move to the last seat position"".
