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.

WIRELESS CHARGER (WCA); IDRIVE CONTROLLER; AMBIENT LIGHTING: STOPPED WORKING. The wireless charger access (WCA) iDrive controller and ambient lights stopped working.
