Technical Service
This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI 18 05 12 dated July 2012.
PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON
ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE CUSTOMER DELIVERY OR THE NEXT TIME
THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.
BMW centers must ensure recalls are completed after having been notified by BMW of North America, LLC (BMWNA) that a
safetyrelated defect or noncompliance exists in any motor vehicle or item of replacement equipment in the center's possession
at the time of notification. In BMW NA's case, this notification would typically be made by the issuance of a recall notification in
the form of a Service Information bulletin (SIB) or transmission of a Dealer Communication System (DCS) recall message.
Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended, if a recall campaign is announced by BMW NA,
centers must ensure that all recalls on new vehicles and new items of replacement equipment are completed BEFORE delivery
to the consumer. This means that centers may not legally deliver new motor vehicles or new items of replacement equipment to
consumers with an open recall.
The Safety Act also prohibits centers from selling or leasing the motor vehicle or item of replacement equipment, unless and until
the open recall has been completed BEFORE delivery. This also pertains to vehicles in the Certified PreOwned program, and to
items of replacement equipment.
Finally, BMW centers should not sell or use parts that have been recalled by BMW NA. Please follow the specific instructions
provided by BMW NA on the return or disposition of the parts.

Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign 11EA03: Check and/or Replace Emissions Monitoring Components
E70 and E90 with the M57Y engine produced from April 2009 to September 2010
1. Under certain driving conditions, the Highpressure (HP) EGR valve may become restricted with excessive soot. This
restriction impedes the emissions performance of the HP EGR valve. This situation may lead to a Service Engine Soon lamp.
An optimized EGR valve has been developed to limit this soot buildup.
2. The Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) mixer has also been improved to optimize the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) mixture
when introduced into the exhaust system.
Note:
These Improved parts may have already been replaced during a previous service visit. It will be necessary to inspect
these components first before replacement.
3. Reprogramming of the DDE is required to optimize these improved emissions monitoring components.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Emissions Recall Campaign involves X5d (E70) and 335d (E90) models that were produced from April 2009 to March 2011.
In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Emissions Recall Campaign completed or is affected by this
Emissions Recall Campaign, first check if the "Emissions Recall Campaign Completed" label SD 92435. This label is attached to
the right (passenger) rear side of the hood in the engine compartment, close to the windshield.
If the label is found, the campaign has already been performed. If the "Emissions Recall Campaign Completed" label is not
present, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based
on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
CORRECTION
Inspecting the mixer:
Remove the Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) catalyst from the exhaust afier the particulate filter to gain access to the mixer.
Inspecting the EGR valve:
The DDE will also need to be programmed as part of the Recall. If the EGR valve is replaced, the DDE will need to be
programmed afier the new EGR valve is installed. This new software package contains the necessary software to adapt to the
new EGR valve strategy.
Program the vehicle using ISTA/P 2.46.3 or later.
Note that ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to CenterNet / Aftersales Portal / Service / Workshop Technology
/ Vehicle Programming.
PARTS INFORMATION

LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
For California centers only: it is required by the California code of regulations that an executed orange "vehicle emission recall
proof of correction" certificate (SD92084, see illustration) be provided to each customer (for vehicles registered in the state of
California), once the Recall on his or her vehicle has been completed.
Note:
Additional labels can be ordered online at BMW TIS.
The repair described in this bulletin is covered under warranty regardless of time or mileage. Reimbursement for this Recall will
be via normal claim entry utilizing the following information:
Refer to KSD2 for the corresponding flat rate unit (FRU) allowance. Enter the Chassis Number, which consists of the last 7 digits
of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Click on the "Search" button, and then enter the applicable flat rate labor operation in
the FR code field.
If FRU labor allowance is not available in KDS2, then use the FRU allowance listed that applies to vehicle (E70 or E90) and the
scope of work performed.
All the labor operation codes listed above are Main labor operations.
If a control module fails to program correctly or initializations are required, the additional work must be claimed with separate
labor operations under the defect code listed above; refer to KSD2.
