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.

INDIRECT VENTILATION FEATURE IS MISSING IN IDRIVE: The customer cannot find the "indirect ventilation" function in the IDrive, as described in the integrated operating instructions or in the enclosed Owner's Handbook.
