SUBJECT



Transmission Failures Due to Incorrect Installation



2010 BMW 650i Convertible (E64) V8-4.8L (N62TU) Page 81



MODEL



All



SITUATION



Transmission failure and damage can result from the incorrect installation of the transmission.



These transmission failures and or damages are often caused by damaged, misaligned or missing dowel bushings between the engine block and the



transmission housing. The resulting transmission-to-engine misalignment will gradually wear off the splines on the input shaft of the clutch cylinder



until power transfer is no longer possible.



The failure symptom relating to the misalignment is a popping sound while driving,loss of forward and reverse gears and finally totals failure of the



transmission. Transmission failure may occur between 1,000 and 25,000 miles after removal of the engine and or transmission depending on the



severity of the misalignment.



Misalignment of the transmission to the engine can also occur as a result of improper engine removal procedures (transmission is left in vehicle



during short block replacement), etc.



It is imperative that the proper procedures, tools and equipment necessary to repair or replace an engine or transmission be used. Additional



installation information can be found in SI B11 05 11 "Engine Removal and Installation Tips".



See attached document describing the damage that will result from improper transmission installation.



WARRANTY INFORMATION



The warranty does not apply to the following:



Damage that results from improper repair.



Claims for transmissions replacements that result from the situation described in this Service Information bulletin will not be accepted.

SUBJECT



Artist and Song Title Are Not Displayed - Gracenote Data Not Up-To-Date



MODEL



[NEW] All with option 609 (Navigation System Professional, CIC or HU-H)



SITUATION



When playing certain audio compact discs (CDs), the artist and song title information is not displayed.



CAUSE



[NEW] The Gracenote(R) music track database installed on the hard disk drive of the Car Information Computer (CIC) or Headunit-High (HU-H) is



not up-to-date.



INFORMATION



[NEW] The CIC and HU-H are equipped with special software provided by Gracenote(R) for the purpose of displaying music track data (artist and



song title) when playing audio CDs.



[NEW] The Gracenote(R) data installed in the CIC and HU-H when the vehicle is produced is the latest available version at that time, and like



Navigation map data, becomes outdated over a period of time.



BMW is not responsible for keeping the vehicle Gracenote(R) database up to date.



However, BMW is making available updated Gracenote(R) data for those dealers and customers wanting the latest data installed in their vehicles.



What is Gracenote(R) in general?



Gracenote(R) is a company that maintains and licenses a database containing information about the contents of audio CDs. It provides software and

Fuel System - Injection/Induction System Cleaning



SI B 13 01 07



Fuel Systems



August 2010



Technical Service



This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B13 01 07 dated August 2010.

SUBJECT



Fuel Injection and Induction System Cleaning



MODEL



SITUATION



Deposits found in the injection and induction system may cause the vehicle to experience a variety of drivability complaints, eventually leading to



the Service Engine Soon lamp to be illuminated. Some of the possibilities are listed below.



Fuel Injectors



Deposits at the fuel injector's tip can impact fuel flow, disturbing the air/fuel mixture ratio.



Symptoms are the following: Hesitation or stumble during acceleration, or even loss of power; poor fuel efficiency; increased emissions of HC and



CO; and "Service Engine Soon" lamp illumination due to misfire faults, or lean mixture adaptations.



Intake Valves



2010 BMW 650i Convertible (E64) V8-4.8L (N62TU) Page 446



Deposits at the valves and on the intake manifold ports can absorb fuel during the warm-up phase, leaning out the air/fuel mixture ratio. Carbon



buildup may disturb the mixture flow at low throttle conditions and/or idle speeds.



Symptoms are the following: Poor drivability; loss of power; unstable and/or rough idle; increased emissions of HC, CO and NOx; and "Service



Engine Soon" lamp illumination due to intermittent misfire faults.



Combustion Chamber



Combustion Chamber Deposit Interference (CCDI) occurs when there is contact between carbon deposits on the piston crown and the cylinder head.



The noise can be confused or misdiagnosed as a ping, knock, or other noises that could indicate a mechanical failure. CCDI occurs first as a cold



start noise that can fade as the engine warms to operating temperature. The noise will reoccur at the next cold start. As deposits build, there is an



increase in compression temperature that may cause pre-ignition detonations.



Symptoms are the following: Knocking; pinging; run-on; poor acceleration; octane requirement increase; increased emissions of NOx; and engine



idle speed surges.



Depending on the manufacturer, fuels may contain various additives such as: oxidation and corrosion inhibitors; metal deactivators; emulsifiers; and



anti-icing agents and dyes. In addition, they are required to include some form of an intake system deposit control package. Unfortunately, not all



fuels are created equal, and some additive packages are not effective enough to maintain the integrity of the intake systems in high performance



engines, or engines operating under severe environmental conditions. Even worse, the intake system deposit control additives in some fuels may



actually contribute to the combustion chamber deposits accumulation, and to the problems associated with those deposits, i.e., knock, run-on and



increased emissions of oxides of nitrogen.



To remedy these complaints, the BMW Group has developed a new special tool and cleaner concentrate to clean the fuel injectors, induction system



and combustion chamber of harmful deposits.



Note:



The fluids and tools described in this Service Information bulletin are the only BMW approved items that can used to clean the fuel injection system,



induction system and combustion chamber. Using non-approved fluids or tools can lead to premature component failure and will not be covered



under Warranty.

SUBJECT



[NEW] Windshield Washer Malfunctions



MODEL



All



[NEW] INFORMATION



The washer fluid mixture ratio is regulated by the U.S. EPA and many individual states; do not exceed the allowable washer fluid "dilution/ratio



limits" that apply. Follow the usage instructions on the washer fluid container. Only use BMWs Windshield Washer Concentrate or the equivalent.



[NEW] SITUATION



The windshield washer jets spray a very low volume of fluid or no fluid at all.



[NEW] CAUSE



Situation 1



A buildup of excess manufacturing-related materials on the windshield washer pump strainer. This primarily occurs on lower mileage vehicles.



Situation 2



A buildup of an organic "algae-like" substance on the windshield washer pump strainer. The algae-like substance is typically caused by using only



water in the washer fluid tank.



^ The customer must be instructed to only fill the windshield washer fluid tank with the appropriate "mixture" of Windshield Washer Concentrate



and water."



Situation 3



The windshield washer pump strainer is damaged because of using the "incorrect type" of cleaning fluid or one which contains an excessive and



incorrect amount of washer fluid concentrate.



Note:



Attempting to use the windshield washers when the washer fluid reservoir is empty or when the strainer is clogged will damage the washer pump.



[NEW] PROCEDURE



1. Remove the washer fluid pump per ISTA Repair Instructions 61 71 100 and inspect the strainer.



2. Any remaining fluid in the washer fluid reservoir must be drained and properly discarded. Clean the reservoir tank as necessary.



3. Replace the strainer, which is installed on the intake side of the pump, as required.



4. Do not replace the washer pump, reservoir tank or windshield nozzles, provided they are still functioning properly.



5. Refill the washer fluid reservoir with the allowable ratio of approved BMW Windshield Washer Concentrate and water.

This affects all vehicles equipped with BMW Assist and Teleservice.



SITUATION



When a BMW Assist Services call is placed, an incorrect vehicle position is transmitted to the call to the call center.



CAUSE



The vehicle is used only for driving short distances (less than 15 minutes per day).



The vehicle reference position is updated in the vehicle from the GPS (Global Positioning Satellites) approximately 15 minutes into each driving



cycle. When the vehicle is used on a regular basis for 15 minutes or less, the stored vehicle position is not updated. The incorrect vehicle position



becomes noticeable after approximately 2 weeks.



PROCEDURE



The customer should be informed about the connection between short distance driving and GPS data updating.



To perform the updating, the GPS data from the satellites has to be received again. Drive the vehicle for a period of more than 20 minutes and then



check that BMW Assist Services are operating properly.

ISTA Test Plan Priority Error



2010 BMW 650i Convertible (E64) V8-4.8L (N62TU) Page 314



MODEL



All



When diagnosing a vehicle using ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application), fault code test plans are intended to be listed by "Priority".



However, the priority given to test plans by ISTA may not be reliable. This may lead to unnecessary diagnosis being performed.



When ISTA was introduced, the entire diagnostics from DIS was migrated over to ISTA. Until all of the diagnostic data has been revised within



ISTA, this type of error may occur.



Before starting diagnosis, the entire test schedule should be considered. Always use fault symptom diagnosis when available~ and use the customer



complaint as the basis for determining which test plan to start first.



Note:



With each ISTA release, the priority given in the test schedule will become more reliable.

E63, E64 (6 Series)



SUMMARY



BMW has agreed to participate in a proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit involving certain 6 Series models which were originally equipped



2010 BMW 650i Convertible (E64) V8-4.8L (N62TU) Page 188



with Style 121 alloy wheels. If this proposed settlement receives final approval from the Court, owners/lessees of affected vehicles may seek



coverage for certain Style 121 alloy wheel repairs (as described in detail in this bulletin) through a BMW center.



Owners/lessees of affected vehicles will begin to receive letters on or after December 17, 2010, informing them of the proposed settlement and



coverage available to them. Please note that the proposed settlement is not final until the Court grants final approval. A final approval hearing on the



proposed settlement will take place in the first quarter of 2011. Additional information on final approval will be provided once it becomes available.



If the Court grants final approval, owners/lessees seeking reimbursement for prior replacement(s) should do so by following the instructions



provided with the customer letter and claim form. Owners/lessees seeking repairs for 121 Style wheels after the proposed settlement becomes final



will be subject to the provisions of this bulletin.



CONDITION



The formation of a small crack may occur at the inside rim flange of the Style 121 alloy wheel, resulting in a low tire pressure and subsequent tire



warning in the instrument cluster.



CORRECTION

INFORMATION



The Car Information Computer (on Computer CIC) began replacing the Car Communication Computer (CCC) on vehicles with option 609 back in



September of 2008. This change will affect the navigation system road map data support process and the Warranty spare parts processes for the CIC.



For the US market, all vehicles will come preloaded from the factory with the latest navigation system road map database version that was available



at the time of vehicle production.



2010 BMW 650i Convertible (E64) V8-4.8L (N62TU) Page 278



Therefore, there will be no physical copy of the navigation system road map data media DVD set placed in these vehicles at the VDC.



Additionally, all replacement CIC parts come with a preloaded version of the current available navigation system road map database installed.



As a backup to this process, HU-DVD set copies of the navigation system road map database are shipped to all BMW centers through the Automatic



Tool Shipment program with each release of a navigation system road map database. With this HU-DVD set, it is possible to download the



navigation



system road map data from the CIC drive directly to the hard disc drive integrated in the CIC.



In case the HU-DVD set is lost or damaged, a back-up set can be ordered.



Please note that the HU-DVD is for workshop use only, and should not be left in customer vehicles.



Additionally, please take special care to archive the HU DVD sets, because as new versions become available, the ISIS will not have the storage



capacity to store every version of the map media that will be released. Additionally, customers will only be allowed to restore the original version



that was preloaded on their vehicles, or any subsequent versions they have purchased as map updates.



Please refer to the Aftersales Business Development & Marketing BMW Dealer Bulletin PB650109 (AttachmentA) for information on the CIC



repair process and HU-DVD storage advice.

Refilling Coolant Systems



MODEL



All



SITUATION



BMW recommends filling the cooling system for protection against freezing down to -34锟斤拷F (-37锟斤拷C). This means an antifreeze ratio of 50%



antifreeze and 50% water. In severely cold areas, the antifreeze can be increased to 60%, which provides freezing protection down to -62锟斤拷F (-52锟斤拷C).



Do not exceed a 60% ratio of antifreeze. The specified antifreeze ratio is important, since an insufficient amount would impair anti-freezing and



corrosion, inhibiting protection. An excessive amount would not improve freezing protection, but would instead reduce freezing protection. At all



times, the antifreeze and water should be pre-mixed before pouring into the engine. If pre-mixing is not performed, damage will occur to the water



pump assembly.



Since model year 2004 (and Z4 MY 2003), BMW has been using an engine coolant with a long-term life rating. The long-term antifreeze/coolant



must be completely drained and replaced only in conjunction with any Repairs that require replacement of aluminum or metal cooling system



components. The corrosion protection for these components is provided only in a new long-term coolant. On all other repairs that involve draining of



partial quantities of coolant, replace the drained quantities with new long-term antifreeze/coolant.



[NEW] Refer to SI B17 01 07 and B17 01 10 for additional information regarding BMW long-term antifreeze/coolant, maintenance, repairs,



replacement requirements and replacement procedures.

SUBJECT



USB Audio Interface



MODEL



[NEW] All vehicles with



^ Option 6FL (USB Audio Interface)



Or



^ Option 6NL (Connection Bluetooth + USB devices incl.)



INFORMATION



The USB Audio interface is only available as a factory-installed option and cannot be retrofitted.



The USB Audio Interface allows the connection of compatible MP3 players, such as an Apple iPod (Generation4 or higher), to the vehicle and



operates it through the vehicles audio controls.



In addition to MP3 players, audio files on USB sticks can also be played through the USB audio interface.



Only audio files can be played. Accessing other files such as videos is not possible.



The USB audio interface currently supports the following compressed formats:



^ MP3 (mp3)



^ AAC (aac, m4a, m4b)



^ WAV/PCM (wav)



^ WMA (wma, asf)



^ Playlists in M3U format



NOTE:



WAV files are not supported in playlists.



It is possible to access all stored audio data directly through a playlist, as well as searching for genre, artist, album or title. However, the sorting and



2010 BMW 650i Convertible (E64) V8-4.8L (N62TU) Page 33



displaying of audio files in the vehicle can only be carried out correctly if all the data stored on the MP3 player (e.g., ID3 tags) contains only Roman



characters. Playlists must contain absolute path indications if the audio file is not located in the same directory as the playlist itself.



Storage of the device and first installation



Observe all operating and storage instructions for the device if the iPod, MP3 player or USB stick is stored in the vehicle. It is recommended not to



store iPods, MP3 players or USB sticks in the vehicle for any length of time, since extreme environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) may



cause damage to the device.



Upon initial connection of an iPod, MP3 player or USB stick containing large amounts of data, audio files can be only accessed through the



directory structure of the device. The search by genre, artist, album or title only becomes available after the corresponding file information has been



transferred to the vehicle. The performance of an iPod, MP3 player or USB stick in the vehicle (such as duration of synchronization or operation



speed) depends on the storage capacity and technology of the device, as well as the number and the format of stored audio files. For example, the



synchronization of a USB stick with 8 GB of flash storage can take up to 10 minutes; longer synchronization times could be due to device specific



characteristics. During this time, music titles can be selected through indexes and file names.



Should the interaction of an iPod, MP3 player or USB stick with the USB Audio Interface not function correctly, it may also be due to defective or



unsupported encoding of audio files (e.g., bit rates bigger than 256 kbit/s).



For questions, please contact your local customer service directly or via email at: customer.service@bmw.com.



Compatible devices



Due to the variety of MP3 players and USB sticks and their technical differences, faultless operation with the USB audio interface cannot be



guaranteed for all devices.



For a list of compatible and/or recommended USB devices, please refer to the BMW USA website:



www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/navigation/audio/usb_audio.html.



For more detailed information on how to operate the connected audio device (iPod, MP3 or USB device) through the vehicle audio system, refer to



the Owners Manual.



The message "Incompatible Device" indicates the usage of an incompatible type of device.



IMPORTANT:



The playing of audio files from mobile phones equipped with a USB interface through the USB audio interface is not recommended. The receiving



or placing of phone calls cannot be guaranteed, because some mobile phone models exclude Bluetooth functionality in conjunction with a USB



connection.



NOTE:



Charging the device through the cigar lighter should be avoided because of possible audio distortions caused by the cigar lighter.



Apple iPod devices



Identifying iPod models:



docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688



^ iPod shuffle (with flash storage).



NOTE:

Troubleshooting/Concept Related Behaviors



TROUBLESHOOTING



Technical limitations of the USB audio interface



1. The connected USB device is not recognized and cannot be selected as an entertainment source. This is with the USB device connected at



vehicle start-up, or if the USB device is connected with the ignition on (KL15):



^ Not all USB devices are compatible with option 6FL or option 6NL. Please refer to the latest list of compatible and/or recommended USB



devices. www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/navigation/audio/usb_audio.html



^ For diagnosis of the USB audio interface connection, please refer to SI B65 07 08.



2. A track cannot be played and/or is skipping:



^ The file has an invalid format (not mp3, wma or aac), is corrupt, or protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM).



3. Playlists, genres, artists, albums and tracks on USB devices are not displayed:



^ Only Roman text characters are supported. Other character sets (Greek, Japanese, etc.) cannot be displayed.



4. Time period differs for playlists, genres, artists, albums and tracks on USB devices are displayed:



^ The time period for playlists, genres, artists, albums and tracks on USB devices to be displayed depends upon the number of audio files on



the final device. In the case of a device with 80GB storage and 15,000 audio files, for example, this could take several hours.



2010 BMW 650i Convertible (E64) V8-4.8L (N62TU) Page 37



5. The iPod cant be fully operated through the vehicle audio system (affects only option 6FL):



^ For use of an Apple iPod, it is recommended to use the "Adapter cable for Apple iPod" (Y-cable). If the Apple iPod is connected using the



USB connector cable supplied with the iPod, the iPod is activated as a USB MSC device. This is only possible if the iPod has been



configured accordingly, using iTunes, and formatted using an FAT file system (Windows systems only, not Mac). In addition, no access to



the playlists is possible in this operating mode and the DRM-protected audio files cannot be played.



6. Distortions through the audio system when the device is connected to the cigar lighter for charging:



^ There are malfunctions and audio interference, if a device is connected to both the USB connector and the 12V socket. Depending on the



model, the USB devices may be supplied with power by the USB connector itself. This means that no additional power connection is



required, nor is one recommended.



7. USB hard drive is not working correctly:



^ Trouble-free operation of USB hard drives cannot be guaranteed. The power supply of the USB is not sufficient for most hard drives.



Audio interference may also occur. The use of hard drives is neither supported nor recommended.



8. iPod 3rd Generation is not working:



^ iPods of the 3rd generation are not supported.



9. With the CCC head unit, the browsing history is not stored. For example, if the list of artists is browsed and an artist is selected, the cursor will



appear at the beginning when returning to the artists list.



^ Normal operation.



10. There are malfunctions if a mobile phone is connected to the USB Audio Interface and paired with the Bluetooth hands-free system:



^ Some mobile phones deactivate Bluetooth if connected to USB.



Concept related behaviors



1. Intermittent inability to select and/or activate categories such as playlists, genres, artists, albums, and tracks after starting the vehicle with the



USB device already connected. This occurs if very few audio files (less than 70) are stored on the USB device:



^ Disconnect and/or reconnect the USB device, or store more audio files.



2. Message "Reading data" is permanently displayed:



^ Make a new selection; disconnect and/or reconnect the device; change the entertainment source and change back again; allow the vehicle



to enter sleep mode.



3. Message "No supported audio files found" is displayed when a playlist is selected:



^ If playlists and audio files are stored in different folders, absolute paths must be used, e.g., /dir1/dir2/track.mp3.



4. Interference is heard instead of an audio track after a vehicle start with a USB stick connected:



^ Select a new track manually, or skip forward or back.

SUBJECT



Alcohol Fuel Blends in BMW Vehicles



MODEL



All with gasoline engines



SITUATION



Fuel blends containing a high percentage (above 10%) of alcohol, mainly ethanol, are becoming more commercially available. Customers inquire



about the possibility of using alcohol fuels (e.g., E85) in BMW vehicles.



INFORMATION



Fuels containing up to and including 10% ethanol; or other oxygenates with up to 2.8% oxygen by weight, that is, 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl



ether); or 3% methanol plus an equivalent amount of cosolvent will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in materials or



2010 BMW 650i Convertible (E64) V8-4.8L (N62TU) Page 129



workmanship.



Usage of such alcohol fuel blends may result in drivability, starting, and stalling problems due to reduced volatility and lower energy content of the



fuel. Those drivability problems may be especially evident under certain environmental conditions such as high or low ambient temperatures and



high altitude.



Only specially adapted vehicles (FFV - Flexible Fuel Vehicles) can run on high alcohol fuel blends. BMW, for the various technical and



environmental reasons explained below, does not offer FFV models.



Usage of E85 or any other high-alcohol content blend (e.g., E30) in BMW vehicles will cause various drivability complaints (cold-start problems,



stalling, reduced performance, poor fuel economy, etc.); may cause excessive emissions; and may cause irreversible damage to engine, emission



control and fuel delivery systems due to incompatibility of materials with alcohols.



General Notes Regarding E85 Fuel



E85 fuel contains 85% (by volume) ethanol and 15% gasoline. Ethanol can be produced chemically from ethylene or biologically from grains,



agricultural wastes, or any organic material containing starch or sugar. In the US, ethanol is mainly produced from corn and is classified as a



renewable fuel.



Similar to gasoline, ethanol contains hydrogen and carbon with additional oxygen molecules built into its chemical chain. This chemical structure



makes ethanol's burning process slightly cleaner than gasoline (lower tailpipe emissions).



On the other hand, due to lower carbon content, ethanol provides 27% less energy (for identical volume) than gasoline, resulting in reduced fuel



economy of E85 vehicles (approximately 22% higher consumption). Increased fuel consumption requires appropriately enlarged fuel tank capacities



(usually a 30% increase), and specific DME calibrations for E85 lower stoichiometric air/fuel ratio (10 compared to 14.7 for gasoline engines).



E85 fuel volatility is typically lower than gasoline (RVP 6-10 psi, compared to 8-15 psi for gasoline). Lower fuel volatility will reduce vehicle



evaporative emissions, but it may cause cold-starting problems, especially with lower ambient temperatures.



Under certain environmental conditions, mainly lower ambient temperatures, ethanol separates from the gasoline/alcohol mixture and absorbs water.



The ethanol-absorbed water molecules are heavier than gasoline or ethanol; they remain at the bottom of fuel tank and, when introduced into the



combustion process, they tend to form an extremely lean mixture resulting in misfire, rough idle and cold-starting problems.



Certain materials commonly used with gasoline are totally incompatible with alcohols. When these materials come in contact with ethanol, they may



dissolve in the fuel, which may damage engine components and may result in poor vehicle drivability.



Some metals (e.g., zinc, brass, lead, aluminum) become degraded by long exposure to ethanol fuel blends. Also, some nonmetallic materials used in



the automotive industry such as natural rubber, polyurethane, cork gasket material, leather, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamides,



methyl-methacrylate plastics, and certain thermo and thermoset plastics degrade when in contact with fuel ethanol.



In order to safely and effectively operate a motor vehicle running on E85, the vehicle must be compatible with alcohol use. Some manufacturers have



developed vehicles called FFV (Flexible Fuel Vehicle) that can operate on any blend of ethanol and gasoline (from 0% ethanol and 100% gasoline to



85% ethanol and 15% gasoline). Ethanol FFVs are similar to gasoline vehicles, with main differences in materials used in fuel management and



delivery systems, and DME control module calibrations. In some cases, E85 vehicles also require special lubricating oils.



Aftermarket conversions of gasoline-powered vehicles to ethanol-fueled vehicles, although possible, are not recommended, due to internal materials



and DME software incompatibility as well as the high costs of conversion.



[NEW] In order to correctly diagnose various drivability complaints caused by fuel blends with a high level of ethanol content, refer to SI B13 05



10, Testing Fuel Composition for applicable tools and procedures.



WARRANTY INFORMATION



Components damage/malfunctions or any drivability problems caused by the use of fuels containing more than 10% ethanol (or other oxygenates



with more than 2.8% oxygen by weight) will not be covered under BMW warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship.

SITUATION



In recent years, experiences in the field have shown a significant increase in various drivability complaints, due to variations in fuel quality offered



by different manufactures in the US. In general, the



quality of gasoline is determined by many factors, with the percentage of alcohol (mainly ethanol) and the level of detergent additives becoming the



key contributors.



Lower levels of detergent quality and quantity may cause harmful carbon deposits to build up on vital engine components like fuel injectors, intake



manifold ports and valves, and inside combustion chambers.



The excessive carbon deposits eventually may reduce fuel economy, lower engine performance and may lead to various drivability complaints, e.g.,



misfire, rough idling and Service Engine Soon lamp illumination.



To prevent such conditions by keeping the engine intake system as clean as possible, BMW NA recommends an optional (customer payment basis)



"Fuel Injection and Induction Cleaning with TECHRON(R) technology" to be performed as a preventive measure. Please refer to SI B13 01 07



(March 2009), found in BMW TIS, for the Injection and Induction Cleaning System tools and procedures.



In order to help you explain fuel quality and carbon deposit-related topics to your customers, BMW NA has published a customer brochure: "BMW



Fuel Injection and Induction System Cleaning: Restore your BMW's peak performance and fuel efficiency". A copy of this brochure is attached.



It is available from Harte Hanks at 609-409-2737 or via CenterNet under Aftersales/Marketing materials (item BMW-PD1-Fuel-35M; cost $0.00;



max. order 50).



This new brochure, combined with "Beyond Octane How additives in gasoline are affecting your BMW performance" (already available), provide



you with extremely important and useful information on gasoline quality and its influence on vehicles' drivability.



Make sure to use this information to educate your BMW owners.



WARRANTY INFORMATION



Performing the BMW Group Fuel Injection and Induction System Cleaning is not covered under the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited



Warranty, maintenance plan or extended CPO coverage, since carbon deposit buildup is related to a substandard fuel quality; it is not considered to



be a defect in a vehicle's materials or workmanship.
