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.

SPORT Mode Is Incorrectly Deactivated or Added After Programming. * Vehicles without the Dynamic Driving Switch: The SPORT configuration menu is available in the control display but does not function. There is no button next to the gear shifter.
