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.
TURN SIGNAL - INTERMITTENTLY FLASHES AT FASTER RATE. Turn signal, intermittently, flashes at faster rate or not at all. Software error in FEM (Front Electronics Module)
