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.
ALARM ACTIVATES WHEN OPENING THE TRUNK: When the trunk is opened using the trunk lid mounted switch the vehicle alarm will intermittently activate. Opening the trunk using the remote control button does not cause this issue to happen. CAUSE Anti-theft alarm system software.
