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.

COMPASS NO LONGER VISIBLE IN THE KOMBI AFTER PROGRAMMING: Integration level updated. Customer noticed that their compass display was deleted from the Instrument Cluster (KOMBI) after recent programming. It still appears in the CID widget display. Software error in the KOMBI.
