BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11020068 · Jun 2025 · also written SI B65 13 25, B651325
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.
In certain situations, a newly installed central woofer(s) (bass speaker) will not function.
