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.

MISSING AUDIO NOTIFICATION WHEN STORING SEAT MEMORY . When saving seat memory settings (Memory 1 or Memory 2) with a vehicle without navigation, there is no audio tone confirmation. Software error in control unit of Seat Module 2.
