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.

SERVICE ACTION: RETROFITTING REAR AXLE GROUND STRAP FOR RADIO INTERFERENCE . Bad radio reception and strong disruptions in the AM radio band. The ground cable from the rear axle to the body was not installed in the vehicles.
