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.

Fog Light Operation Changed After Programming. Note: The fog light operation has been changed in vehicles produced from March 2013. The fog lights cannot be operated when the light switch is in the park position.
