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.
COMFORT ACCESS AND PASSIVE GO DO NOT WORK AFTER REPLACING A REMOTE KEY. Note: This situation only affects the listed vehicles with a factory I-level lower than 18-03-XXX.
