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.

When using Comfort Access 2.0 feature Lock when walking away, the vehicle locks itself even though the remote control/display key is inside the vehicle.
