This Service Action involves E65/E66 (7 Series) vehicles which were produced from September 24, 2001 to September 5, 2005.

In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Service Action, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of the DCS (Dealer Communication System). Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.





The Chassis Number Ranges shown are only for informational purposes and are not to be considered as the only deciding factor.

a. emboss your BMW dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1);
