BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11021819 · Aug 2025 · also written SI B65 18 25, B651825

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.

When the alarm system is activated and doors are locked, within a short period the doors will unlock, and a “double beep” acoustic confirmation is heard from vehicle.
