SummarySCR SYSTEM FAULT 805256 STORED IN VERY COLD WEATHER. After the vehicle is exposed to prolonged temperatures under -9°C (15.8°F) and is then driven a long distance when temperatures are above -9°C (15.8°F), the check engine light may be illuminated. The following fault may be stored in the Digital Diesel Electronics (DDE) 805256 - Active tank filling level sensor, signal: echo fault In low temperature under -9°C (15.8°F) a layer of ice may form in the active tank. This can result in an incorrect level measurement after the vehicle is driven.

Summary?EXHAUST-GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) VALVE (N57T): LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION TO 10 YEARS/120,000 MILEAGE. Due to an issue with the exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) valve, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) lights up and vehicle engine may begin jerking or have sporadic idle fluctuations. Additionally, the fault memory may read the following fault codes: * 255C00 - EGR controller, position control: Valve too wide open/negative control deviation * 272F00 - Exhaust-gas recirculation valve, plausibility: mechanically faulty, near open position * 272E00 - Exhaust-gas recirculation valve, plausibility: mechanically faulty, near closed position * 290900 - Air system, air to EGR exhaust mass flow, plausibility measured air mass compared to calculated air mass too high * 257E00 - EGR controller, position sensor, signal: Interruption or short circuit to ground * 255D00 - EGR controller, actuation: Interruption * 255B00 - EGR controller, position control: Valve too wide closed/positive control deviation * 290B00 - Air system, air to EGR air mass flow, plausibility: measured air mass compared to calculated air mass too low * 240500 - Exhaust-gas recirculation control, control deviation: Air mass too high/negative control deviation * 240400 - Exhaust gas recirculation control, control deviation: Air mass too low/positive control deviation * 273600 - EGR controller position, long-term drift: Position deviation too high (current/new condition)

Summary?CONNECTEDDRIVE/BMW ASSIST SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION. ConnectedDrive/BMW Assist features are partially or completely inoperative. This Service Information bulletin is being published because vehicles are down for an extended period of time when researching system failures with ConnectedDrive or BMW Assist. This Service Information bulletin will assist you both in identifying the issue and providing technical support. CAUSE Not enough information is available for BMW NA engineers to assist the technician in diagnosing the root cause.

Summary?ENGINE LEAK DIAGNOSIS ON TURBOCHARGED V8 ENGINES. When diagnosing an engine oil leak or a coolant leak on turbocharged V8 engines it is necessary to use a borescope to identify if the source of the leak is from under the turbochargers. Engine oil or coolant leaking from the bell housing area or the front timing chain cover area may be caused by the turbocharger itself, a turbocharger oil/coolant feed line or turbocharger oil/coolant return line. Do not remove the transmission and do not dissemble the engine before performing this inspection. If necessary, use engine oil leakage detection dye.

SummaryN63 and S63 Engine: Valve Seal Replacement. Refer to the following applicable SIBs before replacing the valve seals. * B11 07 11 - Turbocharger Failure: Oil Supply and Return Line Blockage and Proper Repair * B11 07 12 - N63 Engine: Oil Consumption and/or Rough Running Complaints * B11 01 13 - N63 Engine: Engine Oil Consumption, Engine Oil Top-ups and Refill Capacity * B11 03 13 - Engine Oil Consumption (all models) If the valve seals are leaking, one of the following will help determine if the seals should be replaced. * Smoke from the tailpipe when starting or aggressively accelerating and decelerating the engine in addition to excessive engine oil consumption * Spark plugs fouled with engine oil and excessive engine oil consumption * Excessive engine oil consumption All Vehicles: On vehicles, where an excessive oil consumption between services is the only complaint, a complete oil consumption test as described in SI B11 03 13, must be performed first before replacing the valve seals. On vehicles exhibiting reproducible smoking from the tailpipe when hot, additional engine diagnostic steps (e.g. engine compression test, leak-down tests; inspection of the crankcase ventilation lines and turbo intake/outlet tubes for excessive oil accumulation) should be performed and documented prior to replacement of the valve seals, in order to eliminate other possible causes. Refer to the SIBs listed above for important diagnostic tips. Do not remove the intake manifolds to clean the intake valve carbon.
