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.

Check control message displayed; turn signals flash fast. Intermittently or permanently, a bulb out check control message is displayed, together with the turn signal flashing fast.
