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.

SLIGHT SHUDDERING UNDER ACCELERATION FROM 40-60MPH. When initiating gradual acceleration at between 40mph to 60mph, customer may experience some minor shuddering under acceleration.
