BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10201148 · Jul 2021 · also written SI B65 17 21, B651721
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.
The BMW key card cannot be activated. The activation menu in the BMW iDrive is missing.
