Does anybody now if this problem might be an issue for European diesel models?

The automatic transmission in question is that used in any diesel models?

Well yes the tranny is the same as used on all V8, I6 (Petrol and diesel) models, but this recall specifically identifies the specific engines / tranny combo as the problem. But remember as well, these are released by BMWNA meaning the original data could have included diesel engines but was stripped out as NA does not use diesel. I have assumed that many of the gaps in the number sequence for SIBs in NA is due to the original SIB released by BMW in fact being for models in ROW and therefore did not have applicability to NA market. But I could be wrong.

I can only suggest that for a safety recall any market impacted would have been notified.

Thanks, Cobradav. The SIB lists serial numbers of affected cars. Mine is out of the range. Your timely posting of SIBs is greatly appreciated.
