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.

Integrated Owner's Manual No Longer Available After Programming. After a programming or replacement of the Front Electronics Module (FEM), the customer states that the Integrated Owner's Manual (IBA) can no longer be selected in the vehicle. CAUSE FEM application error
