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: REPLACE THE GEAR SELECTOR SWITCH (GWS). The functional lighting and/or locator lighting on the shifter selector lever (aka gear selector switch GWS) may flicker over time, or intermittently not illuminate. The GWS may not have been produced to specifications.
