Found this bulletin on NHTSA office of defects investigation. NHTSA item # 10026205 April 1,2008
Does any one have access to the actual BMW bulletin SI-B11-01-08
I am trying to find out details to see if it applies to all 5 series, or which production dates it applies to.
If that bolt comes out is it good by engine ???
I tried several searches with finding this bulletin.
I would be grateful for getting details and work done before warranty expires.
