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.

DISPLAY KEY NOT DETECTED IN VEHICLE: After display key remains motionless in the vehicle (or in the trunk) for more than two minutes, it is no longer detected.
