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.

Daytime Running Light Does Not Switch ON. The DRL (Daytime Running Light) is off and cannot be switched on after importing the personal profile from another vehicle. The CID (Central Information Display) display shows that it is active.
