SITUATION

With the release of ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application) D2.30.6 or later, an updated battery registration test plan has been introduced.

The test plan allows the technician to enter a 12-digit "Data Code Matrix" or 6-digit "Supplier Number" that is easily read off the new battery. This

will allow for tracking of the new battery in the vehicle, which will improve quality control of replacement batteries.

PROCEDURE

In order to obtain the proper numbers required by the test plan, before installing the replacement battery, note the 12-digit "Data Code Matrix" or

6-digit "Supplier Number" from the new battery. These numbers can be found on top of the battery. The next 2 steps will provide examples of the

numbers.

2010 BMW 750Li xDrive AWD (F02) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 90

1. The 12-digit "Data Code Matrix" shown in this example is "11B336BE2015" and is a combination of numbers and letters.

Note:

Not all replacement batteries have this code. If this is the case, use the 6-digit code identified in step 2.

2. The 6-digit "Supplier Number" shown in this example is "165902". If this number is entered in the test plan, you also need the numbers

stamped on top of the negative post of the battery, for example, "46 11."

3. After the numbers have been obtained and the battery is installed in the vehicle, start diagnosis using ISTA D2.30.6 or later.

4. Select "Identification / Vehicle selection / Read out vehicle data / Start identification." A vehicle test is not necessary in order to perform

battery registration.

5. Select "Activities / Service function / 03 Body / Power supply / Register battery change / Start search."

6. Select the test plan "AS6120_WECHSEL - Register battery replacement."

7. Once the test plan starts, select "Register battery replacement."

8. The test plan reads out the current battery that is registered in the vehicle. Select the appropriate entry that applies to the replacement battery:

^ "Enter battery replacement: same capacity"

^ "Enter battery replacement: higher/lower capacity"

^ "Enter battery replacement: Change from normal lead-acid battery to AGM battery"

9. The test plan then asks the question, "Is there a data matrix code on the label of the newly installed battery?"

^ Select "Yes" if the 12-digit code displayed in step 1 is present. After yes is selected. proceed to step 10.

^ Select "No" if the 6-digit code displayed in step 2 is present. After no is selected, proceed to step 11.

Note:

Most replacement batteries only have the 6-digit code on the new battery.

10. The test plan prompts to "Enter second line of data matrix code as described (Note! Upper and lower case sensitive)." Enter the 12-digit code

recorded from the new battery in step 1 with no spaces, for example, "11B336BE2015." Select "Next" when finished. The new battery is

This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B13 05 06 dated September 2006.

SUBJECT

BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus

MODEL

All

SITUATION

Recent field experiences have shown a significant increase in various drivability complaints due to excessive carbon deposits in engines combustion

chambers on the intake valves and fuel injectors.

The overall rise in carbon deposit accumulation is generally attributed to poor gasoline quality; namely, a low level of cleaning additives and fuel

contamination.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Combustion chamber deposit formation is a by-product of the gasoline burning process. Fuel injector and intake valve deposits may become less

troublesome with the recently introduced Top Tier Detergent Gasoline deposit control standards, which are exceeding the detergent requirements

imposed by the EPA in 1995.

However, vehicles that do not exclusively use a Top Tier Detergent Gasoline or are regularly driven under severe conditions, such as stop-and-go

traffic, high ambient temperatures and high altitude, can experience performance problems caused by intake system and combustion chamber

deposits.

2010 BMW 750Li xDrive AWD (F02) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 364

The most common customer complaints may include:

FUEL INJECTORS

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

Symptoms:

^ Hesitation or stumble during acceleration or even loss of power

^ Poor fuel efficiency

^ Increased emissions of HC and CO

^ "Service Engine Soon" lamp illumination due to intermittent misfire faults or lean mixture adaptation values.

INTAKE VALVES:

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 mixture flow at low throttle conditions/idle speeds.

Symptoms:

^ Poor drivability

^ Loss of power

^ Unstable/rough idle

^ Increased emissions of HC, CO and NOx

^ "Service Engine Soon" lamp illumination due to intermittent misfire faults.

COMBUSTION CHAMBER:

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

The noise can be confused or misdiagnosed as 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:

^ Knocking

^ Pinging

^ Run-on

^ Poor acceleration

^ Octane requirement increase

^ Increased emissions of NOx

^ Engine idle speed surges.

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

anti-icing agents and dyes. They are also 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 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 deposit accumulation and to the problems associated with those deposits: knock, run-on and increased

emissions of oxides of nitrogen.

RECOMMENDATION

BMW recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline with a minimum octane rating of AKI 91 and with alcohol content of less then 10% by

volume (or any other oxygenates with up to 2.8% of oxygen by weight). Only the exclusive use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline provides the full

benefit of reducing deposit formation. For more information related to TOP TIER Gasoline, refer to SI B13 02 06.

2010 BMW 750Li xDrive AWD (F02) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 365

If the TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is unavailable, we recommend that BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus (P/N 82 14 0 413 341) be added to

the gas tank. For optimum cleaning and deposit control, add a 20 fl. oz. bottle every 3,000 miles when refueling.

Regular use of BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus can help address carbon deposits related to the symptoms listed above. By removing these

deposits, an engine may experience restored power, performance and fuel efficiency; a smoother idle running; lower emissions; and reduced octane

requirement.

BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus uses polyether amine TECHRONreg;-based technology developed and patented by Chevron. BMW Group

Fuel System Cleaner Plus has proven to clean up deposits in fuel injectors, ports and intake valves, and reduces the harmful effects of combustion

chamber deposits. It helps restore performance lost due to deposit buildup.

Chevron and BMW have run extensive "no harm" tests with polyether amine technology. When used as directed, it will not harm catalytic converters

, oxygen sensors, or any other mechanical components of the engine or fuel delivery system.

The effectiveness of the additive depends on its presence in the gasoline in large concentrations for short periods of time. One treatment is usually

sufficient, but a second treatment (one 20 oz. bottle per each consecutive full tank of gas) may give additional benefits. To keep your fuel intake

system clean, we recommend usage at every 3,000 miles.

Additionally, the vehicle's fuel sending units, equipped with silver-plated resistor card/contacts, are especially vulnerable to attacks by the elemental

sulfur and/or hydrogen sulfide found in fuels. Adding BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus immediately upon noticing erratic fuel gauge behavior

may, in many cases, restore proper performance due to the additive's ability to remove the harmful sulfur compounds from the sending unit's contact

surface. Additionally, BMW Group Fuel System Cleaner Plus can help protect the fuel gauge from future malfunctioning by coating all metal

surfaces of the fuel system.

Crankcase Ventilation System Diagnosis and Measurement

MODEL

All

INFORMATION

All current BMW engines incorporate a pressure-controlled crankcase ventilation system. The crankcase ventilation systems use various different

crankcase ventilation valves, depending on the engine type. Although the valves all look different, they function similarly, using a spring and

diaphragm assembly to control the crankcase pressure. A properly functioning pressure control valve is designed to maintain a slight vacuum

(underpressure) in the crankcase, which assures reliable crankcase venting during all engine operating conditions. Some of the causes and results of a

malfunctioning crankcase ventilation system are listed below.

Causes of Excessive Overpressure (Pressure)

^ Internal engine damage/wear

^ Obstruction in the crankcase ventilation system

^ Defective pressure control valve(s)

Results of Excessive Overpressure

^ Damage to the engine oil seals

^ Increased engine oil consumption (can be misdiagnosed as a defective turbocharger)

^ Excessive engine oil in the intake system

^ Excessive engine oil in the charged intake tubes or the intercooler on turbocharged engines (can be misdiagnosed as a defective turbocharger)

^ Engine oil dip stick is dislodged from the guide tube (if equipped)

Cause of Excessive Underpressure (Vacuum)

^ Defective pressure control valve

Results of Excessive Underpressure

^ Damage to the engine oil seals

^ Increased engine oil consumption

^ Excessive engine oil in the intake system

^ Rough engine idling or engine misfire

^ Whistling or howling noise from the engine (can be misdiagnosed as a defective turbocharger)

^ Increased mixture adaptation values

Light Bulb Replacement - Incandescent and Halogen Light Bulbs

MODEL

ALL excluding Xenon light bulbs and light-emitting diodes (LEDs)

[NEW] SITUATION

Functional testing of incandescent and halogen light bulbs replaced under warranty and returned to the Warranty Parts Return Center (WPRC) along

with the analysis of light bulb claim data shows that some of these light bulbs are:

^ Being replaced unnecessarily;

^ Incorrectly handled during a previous repair or replacement; or

^ Not replaced, as a set, when they should have been

This can result with unnecessary additional warranty costs, service visits and reduced customer satisfaction.

Note:

The situation above does not apply to Xenon bulbs that may only be replaced as instructed after running the corresponding ISTA test plan.

[NEW] PROCEDURE

When replacing incandescent and halogen light bulbs, always follow the guidelines listed below:

1. Before replacing these light bulbs, confirm that they are defective (most times a broken filament can be seen visually). If there is no visual

confirmation, test the bulb using a multimeter or 12-volt power supply with a suitable bulb holder to confirm that the bulb is defective.

2. A failed light bulb with distinctly "blackened" glass indicates a failure. In situations where the failed vehicle bulb as a "twin" with the same

function (for example, left and right parking lights), replace the other bulb as well if it also found to be "blackened" in the same way.

3. Only replace light bulbs when the lighting system is switched off or when the vehicle is powered down.

4. Do not touch any bulb glass directly with your fingers - this will cause local overheating spots and premature bulb failure. The best practice is to

hold the bulb using a clean cloth or while wearing clean gloves. Clean off any dirty bulbs as necessary.

5. Before installing the replacement light bulb, check the bulb holder contacts for traces of oxidation and clean if necessary. Check for adequate

contact force.

6. In cases where a vehicle has had repeated light bulb failures, check the wiring system supply voltage using ISTA diagnosis.

7. Use only genuine BMW replacement light bulbs sourced through the BMW NA Parts department to help avoid bulb compatibility issues.

[NEW] WARRANTY INFORMATION

For information only

The bulb replacement reason including the applicable guidelines listed above must be stated on the repair order and in the corresponding claim

comment section.

Please follow the standard warranty parts documentation and retention procedures for all bulb replacement repairs.

CPO Inspection Guidelines: Engine Inspection on Vehicles with Extended ("Overdue") Oil Service Intervals

MODEL All

SITUATION

During the CPO inspection process, vehicles with a questionable service history may require further consideration prior to continuing with the CPO

inspection.

Such vehicles will fall into the category of "TSE must approve" when qualifying for the CPO Program, using the "CPO Service Guidelines -

Maintenance Tables" document (copy is attached). This Service Information bulletin provides the engine inspection procedure for vehicles with an

extended ("overdue") service history.

In general, the high quality synthetic oils used in BMW engines provide sufficient protection against oxidation, nitration and thermal breakdown,

even in situations when the regular service maintenance was extended ("overdue"), due to the customers neglect.

However, certain external conditions (mainly city driving style and/or high engine loads; poor fuel quality; extreme ambient temperatures), combined

with excessively long oil service intervals, may accelerate engine oil degradation, which may cause premature wear of the engine components.

Continuous city driving (stop & go traffic); fuels with high content of olefins; sulfur and certain aromatic fractions; and very high ambient

temperatures are the most influential factors causing premature oil aging and a consecutive engine mechanical deterioration.

2010 BMW 750Li xDrive AWD (F02) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 96

If the vehicle falls into the category of "TSE must approve" (red zone in the table), the following steps need to be performed in order to determine

vehicles CPO eligibility:

1. Remove the engine valve cover (on N62/N62TU and N73 engines, only from the left bank) and the oil filter insert.

2. To document the engine condition, digital pictures of the valvetrain; the inside surface of the valve cover; the oil filter insert; and the

identification plate from the left B-pillar must be taken.

3. Create and submit a PuMA case titled "CPO Engine Inspection", which should be categorized as follows:

The submitted PuMA case must describe the vehicles service history and must also have the pictures listed above (taken in "jpeg" format with low

resolution camera settings) attached.

4. Based on the information provided in the PuMA case, the TSE will qualify the vehicle for the CPO enrollment. If the TSE determines that the

vehicles condition will disqualify it for the CPO Program, then he will reply to the "CPO Engine Inspection" case denying the approval for the

CPO Program.

5. If the TSE determines that the vehicle condition is acceptable for the enrollment in the CPO Program, then the TSE will reply to the PuMA

case approving the CPO enrollment.

6. The attached illustrations below are the examples of how the engine components should be photographed, and should be used as guidelines in

the inspection process.

Example # 1:

Picture of the valvetrain components after the valve cover is removed (camshafts, VANOS units, timing chain, and eccentric shaft - if fitted, should

Closed-circuit Current Measurement

2010 BMW 750Li xDrive AWD (F02) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 74

MODEL

All

SITUATION

Increased closed-circuit currents may occur permanently or intermittently and cause the battery to discharge prematurely. The increase in

closed-circuit current may be caused by a faulty control unit, or by the installation of a non-approved accessory.

In a situation where a vehicle has broken down due to a discharged battery, for diagnostic purposes it is important not to disconnect the battery. This

is because a control unit will be reset if the battery is disconnected. Following a reset, the faulty control unit may start functioning correctly again,

making accurate diagnosis impossible.

[NEW] To correctly measure closed-circuit current, the 50-amp clip-on probe (previously used with the MIB) or the 100-amp clip-on probe can now

be used in conjunction with the IMIB (Integrated Measurement Interface Box) to properly diagnosis closed-circuit current problems over an

extended period of time. Connect the amp clip-on probe directly to the IMIB Measurement input 3 (green socket). Refer to SI B04 35 09 for

information about the IMIB.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Not applicable

Procedure

PROCEDURE

1. [NEW] It is very important that any "Power management" faults stored be diagnosed and corrected, and the "Energy Diagnosis" test plan

carried out before the following procedure is performed. Only perform this procedure if closed-circuit current violations are listed in the "Most

Likely Cause" list.

2. [NEW] Check and test the battery using the BMW Battery Tester. Refer to SI B 04 25 02 for information about the BMW Battery. Refer to SI

B61 02 11 for vehicles equipped with advanced onboard battery diagnostics that do not require the BMW Battery Tester. If necessary,

recharge or replace the battery.

3. If the battery is installed in the trunk, open the trunk and turn the lock to the locked position, using a screwdriver or similar (simulates the

trunk lid being closed). The hood must be closed. If the battery is installed in the engine compartment, open the hood and pull the front lid

contact switch fully up, and lock in this position (workshop position, simulates the front lid being closed). The trunk must be closed.

4. With the exception of the trunk/hood above, all other doors/lids must be closed.

5. In order to simulate normal closed-circuit conditions:

^ Turn the ignition on and activate all electrical consumers, including any accessories. Turn the ignition off. In some cases, a drive cycle

may need to be carried out in order to duplicate a closed-circuit current problem.

^ Open and close the driver's door (simulates somebody getting out).

^ Lock the car, arming the DWA if this is installed.

2010 BMW 750Li xDrive AWD (F02) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 75

6. In general, closed-circuit current consistently over 50mA must be investigated. Depending on the vehicle's equipment, closed-circuit current

by vehicle model is approximately as shown above.

7. If the nominal milliamp reading is not achieved after the appropriate time, refer to the attached troubleshooting charts. On 2005 MY vehicles

equipped with BMW ASSIST, there are additional current fluctuations as high as 500ma that last for approximately 2 minutes. The

fluctuations occur every 15 minutes for up to 14 hours after key off. This is considered normal operation of the TCU, and should not be

considered a fault. This also applies to 2005 TCUs that are installed into earlier production vehicles as replacement parts.

CLOSED-CIRCUIT CURRENT MEASUREMENT WITH THE IMIB

Note:

This technique with an IMIB is particularly suitable for extended measurements, and provides a graphical readout of recorded

measurements over time. It is recommended for situations where the use of a multimeter provided insufficient information for problem

diagnosis.

1. The IMIB can be accessed from any ISID within the workshop.

2. Select "Activities".

3. Select "Measuring devices".

4. Select from the "Level 1" column, "Measuring devices", and then "OK".

2010 BMW 750Li xDrive AWD (F02) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 76

5. From the "Connection manager" screen, select the free IMIB and "Set up connection".

6. The "Measures devices" screen opens on the "Multimeter" tab.

7. Select the "Oscilloscope" tab.

8. Highlight the "CH1" tab to activate channel 1.

9. Under channel 1, "Source", scroll with the arrows to select "Clip-on probe 50A".

10. Make sure that clip-on probe is not connected to the battery cable, and acknowledge the pop-up message with "OK".

11. Change the "A/Div" setting to "1A".

12. Under the "Time" selection box, change the "Time/Div" setting based on the number of measurements needed (5 ms to 200 s). The longer

times should be selected when performing the measurement over an extended period.

13. Select "CH 1" under "Cursor" to monitor the actual readings.

14. Select "Record" if performing long term measurements.

15. After performing the measurement, select "Record" again; the display will change to "Compress" and display the recorded data on the 1

screen.
