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.

The original Conditioned Based Service (CBS) Key data point closed with 23-07 soft ware, all CBS systems are now collectively under analysis.
