MODEL

Vehicles according to the VIN shown below.

SITUATION

Due to incorrect provisioning data, the vehicles must be manually re-provisioned.

CAUSE

Incorrect provisioning data in the TCU

Vehicles still in transport mode or parked out of GSM reception, preventing automatic reprovisioning over the air

PROCEDURE

^ Check the VIN list shown above of affected vehicles.

^ If in transport mode, take the vehicle out of transport mode with ISTA.

^ Move the vehicle into an area of GSM reception, if necessary.

^ In the vehicle, go to the "BMW ASSIST" menu, select "Service Status", and then select "Update Services".

SITUATION

In order for BMW Assist services to function properly, an initialization procedure must be performed to activate these functions on the vehicle.

Important Information:

Starting with March 2008 production vehicles (E70 and E71 4/08) except for the E65, E66, E83 and E85, the CDMA based Telematics Control Unit

(TCU) will migrate to a GSM-based control unit. The wireless carrier for the GSM-based module is AT&T Wireless.

^ CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access uses the Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) as a back up. As of February 18, 2008, Verizon

Wireless decommissioned its AMPS service, as allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

^ GSM = Global System for Mobile communications

Starting from April 1, 2005, all eligible vehicles processed at the Vehicle Processing Centers have BMW Assist already initialized before they reach

your BMW center. Therefore it is no longer necessary to perform this procedure during the QC1 on these vehicles. However, initialization will still

be necessary in cases with the following scenarios:

^ If the TCU is replaced on any vehicle (except pre-3/05 production E65 and E66 vehicles);

^ E65, E66, E90, and E91 vehicles from 3/05 to 8/05 production if the TCU is programmed;

^ E60, E61, E63, and E64 vehicles from 7/03 to 8/05 production if the TCU is programmed;

^ If BMW Assist services are reactivated (except pre-3/05 production E65 and E66 vehicles); and E70 (X5) vehicles not delivered with BMW

Assist services initialized.

E70 (X5) vehicles built prior to 4/2/2007 production may have been delivered to your center without the BMW Assist services initialized. All E70

(X5) vehicles built prior to 4/2/2007 production must have the status of BMW Assist initialization checked as part of the Quality Certification (QC1)

on all E70 vehicles. Refer to SI B84 63 06 for additional information.

2010 BMW 328Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L (N52K) Page 273

Note:

All X5 vehicles produced after April 2, 2007 have BMW Assist initialized at the plant. It is NOT necessary to check the status of BMW Assist on

any X5 produced after April 2, 2007.

BMW ASSIST CUSTOMER CARE

BMW Assist Customer care is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM CT, and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM CT.

The Telematics Analyst at BMW NA handles escalated issues and can be reached Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM ET.

Disabling BMW Assist/Troubleshooting

DISABLING BMW ASSIST

If the customer does not want BMW Assist and has completed a BMW Assist Waiver Form with the client advisor, then BMW Assist may be coded

out of the vehicle.

1. The Telematics functionality of the TCU must be deactivated via Progman.

2. Refer to the retrofits section of SI B09 05 01 and select "Active/Deactivate Telematics". This will add "+TELD" to the vehicle order. Follow the

onscreen prompts to complete this procedure.

3. This will eliminate BMW Assist as a selectable option in the radio, Control Display (CD) or Central Information Display (CID). This means the

option "Enable Services" will no longer be a selectable option.

2010 BMW 328Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L (N52K) Page 282

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. If the initialization procedure has been successfully completed, but the transmitted data is different than the data on file at the BMW Assist

Response Center:

^ CDMA: Obtain the Mobile Identification Number (MIN), Mobile Device Number (MDN) and Electronic Serial Number (ESN). Refer to the

"Obtaining ESN, MIN and MDN or IMEI and ICC-ID " section of this bulletin for the procedure.

^ Contact BMW Assist by calling. The BMW Assist Customer Care representative will reconcile the transmitted data against the data on file.

Please wait one hour before attempting re-initialization.

^ GSM: Obtain the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) and the Integrated Circuit Card ID (ICC-ID). Refer to the "Obtaining ESN,

MIN and MDN or IMEI and ICC-ID " section of this bulletin for the procedure.

^ Contact BMW Assist by calling. The BMW Assist Customer Care representative will reconcile the transmitted data against the data on file.

Please wait one hour before attempting re-initialization.

2. If the initialization procedure has failed and the message "Data transmission fault, Call Customer Relations" is displayed, check and perform the

following:

^ Turn the ignition off for 16 minutes and allow the vehicle to enter sleep mode. Then turn the ignition on and try initializing BMW Assist services

again.

^ Note: If the vehicle is equipped with an optional CPT9000 handset or a snap-in adaptor for a Bluetooth(R) handset, remove the handset from

the cradle.

^ Ensure that the vehicle has been parked outside, with the key on, and has an unobstructed line of sight to the sky in order to receive a proper GPS

signal. GPS signal acquisition may take up to 5 minutes.

^ The ability to view the signal strength of the BMW Assist Network Access Device (NAD), either in the radio or Central Information Display

(CID), was eliminated on vehicles from 09/05 production. Refer to SI B84 05 07 (Checking NAD Signal Strength for BMW Assist). If necessary,

drive the vehicle to a location with adequate cellular reception.

^ If all the above items are OK, try parking the vehicle in a different location. Let the vehicle enter sleep mode and repeat the initialization

procedure.

^ If the procedure still fails, the problem may be that the BMW Assist coding bit in the Telematics Control Module (TCU) is not correct. Code the

TCU using the latest version of Progman. Then repeat the initialization procedure.

^ If the procedure still fails, use DIS/GT1 to enter the TCU "Control Module Functions"; select "Component Activation" and select "Control Unit

reset". Make sure the results screen shows the reset procedure as being activated. Turn the vehicle off for 16 minutes and let the vehicle enter

sleep mode. Repeat the initialization procedure.

^ If the procedure still fails, using BMW Diagnostic Tools obtain the information below:

^ CDMA vehicles: Electronic Serial Number (ESN), Mobile Identification Number (MIN) and Mobile Device Number (MDN). Refer to the

"Obtaining ESN, MIN and MDN or IMEI and ICC-ID " section of this bulletin for the procedure.

^ GSM Vehicles: International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) and the Integrated Circuit Card ID (ICC-ID). Refer to the "Obtaining ESN,

MIN and MDN or IMEI and ICC-ID" section of this bulletin for the procedure.

3. If further technical support is needed, create a PuMA for further assistance. When creating a PuMA case, advise the technical support

representative whether this is a single vehicle or if multiple vehicles at the center are experiencing the same error(s).

when there is an extended outage, to keep you informed.

2010 BMW 328Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L (N52K) Page 284

VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE VERIZON WIRELESS NETWORK

^ The vehicle must be in the Verizon Wireless Network for the initialization procedure to work properly. If the vehicle is not in the Verizon

Wireless Network, perform the outlined procedure and then follow these additional steps. For a complete list of BMW centers outside of the

Verizon Wireless network, refer to the attachment B841503_Centers_Outside_of_Verizon_Coverage.

^ Create a PuMA case to receive TCU shipping authorization.

^ Remove the TCU from the vehicle.

^ Send the TCU and a copy of the PuMA case via FedEx to:

BMW of North America, LLC

Attn: Body Electrical Group (BMW Assist Initialization B84 15 03)

^ BMW of North America, LLC will initialize the TCU and ship it out on the same business day that it was received.

^ After receiving the TCU from BMW of North America, reinstall the TCU and place a BMW Assist call.

Central Power Window Switch Operation

MODEL

E93

SITUATION

When pressing the central power window switch, not all windows will respond. This can occur if the window switch is pressed again shortly after the

window has reached its stop. A typical situation would be if the operator opens and closes the window quickly to clear the window of fog, dew, rain

or frost. This usually affects one of the rear windows.

2010 BMW 328Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L (N52K) Page 208

CAUSE

A short time delay (2-4 seconds) is built in to protect certain window components. This is inherent in the design, and therefore no repairs or parts are

required.

CORRECTION

Explain the benefits of this function, and then advise the customer of the delay needed between window operations.

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.

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.

[NEW] Remote Control and/or Comfort Access Functionality Is Inoperative

MODEL

All

[NEW] Vehicles with remote control keys that have a replaceable battery

SITUATION

The radio remote control and Comfort Access functionality is inoperative:

^ The vehicle can only be unlocked or locked with the mechanical key.

2010 BMW 328Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L (N52K) Page 69

^ The vehicle can only be started with the remote control key in the slot of the Car Access System (CAS) or when held very closely to the

steering column.

CAUSE

[NEW] The replaceable battery in the remote control key is either damaged or depleted.

CORRECTION

Step A:

A defective/depleted battery in the remote control key will mimic that no battery is installed in the remote control key; hence, no check control

message will be displayed. This is why it is imperative to test the battery in the remote control key first.

[NEW] Testing showed that even when performing diagnosis and following the test plan for the key battery charge/voltage status check offered in

ISTA, a damaged/depleted key battery will not be recognized.

[NEW] As a result, follow the recommendation below without performing a vehicle test:

1. [NEW] Check the battery functionality by removing the original key battery in the key and install a known good key battery; or, even better, use a

battery tester called state of charge (e.g., ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1) to test the key battery capacity

2. [NEW] Retest the functionality of the remote control key.

3. [NEW] When proper functionality is confirmed, replace the key batteries on all assigned remote control keys for the vehicle.

4. [NEW] If proper functionality cannot be restored with a known good key battery, refer to Step B.

Note:

The average life cycle of a battery in the remote control key is approximately 3 years from the day of production of the vehicle.

[NEW] More details on the ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1 can be found in Attachment_A and on the ZTS manufacturer website,

www.ztsinc.com/mbtl.html.

[NEW] Note:

The ZTS Multi-Battery Tester MBT-1 must be purchased through your center (e.g. from Amazon.com, SEARS, etc.). It will not be offered through

BMW.

Step B:

Perform diagnosis using ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application). Complete any test plans related to the radio remote control system.

Note:

If the remote control key must be replaced, swap the existing slide-in (mechanical) key into the new replacement remote control(s).

Important:

If the rearview mirror must be replaced (remote receiver is integrated) on a Convertible, please perform a visual check on the mirror to assure that

the frequency of the remote receiver installed in the mirror is 315 MHz.

Cleaning Excess Butyl from RHT Roof Shells

MODEL

E93 (3 Series Convertible)

SITUATION

Butyl adhesive is used to secure the seals of the retractable hardtop (RHT) to the steel roof shell panels.

Particularly at high ambient temperatures, if excess butyl is present, it may start to seep out from between the seal and the roof shell.

This butyl may be black or gray in color.

2010 BMW 328Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L (N52K) Page 118

CAUSE

Excess butyl applied to the roof shell during assembly

CORRECTION

Remove the excess butyl by following the procedure outlined below.

Failure to follow this procedure could result in a water leak that was not present before.

PROCEDURE

1. Use a nylon wedge (1) to press the excess butyl (2) out from under the seal. The excess butyl should be pulled up onto the roof shell as shown.

2. Lay any commercially available plastic tape (1) over the butyl previously pressed out. Press down on the butyl with the nylon wedge (2).

3. Pull the tape (1) off the roof shell and most of the butyl (2) will be removed with the tape. Blot the tape on the roof shell to remove any remaining

butyl.

4. Insert a toothpick or pick (1) under the affected area of the seal. Rotate the pick to collect the excess butyl (2) still under the seal and pull it out.

2010 BMW 328Cic Convertible (E93) L6-3.0L (N52K) Page 119

This will allow the seal to sit flush to the roof shell.

NOTE:

Perform this step carefully, as removing too much butyl could result in a future water leak.

5. Clean any remaining residue on the painted roof shell using adhesive remover, such as Wurth Clean Solve.

Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Quality Detection with ISTA D

MODEL

All with the N52K engine

[NEW] All with the N54 engine from 03/08 production

E90, E70 X5 with M57Y engine

INFORMATION I

[NEW] With the release of ISTA D 2.19, it is possible to perform a gasoline quality determination on N52K-equipped vehicles and on some

N54-equipped vehicles by using the test plan S1214_NGKQE "Fuel Quality Detection".

[NEW] Note:

The "Fuel Quality Detection" test plan will work on N54 vehicles equipped with MSD81 DME (from 03/08 production) and programmed to the

integration level 09-12-501 or higher.

This test plan can be accessed by selecting the path: Service Function; Drive; Engine Electronics; Read Measure Values; Fuel quality.

The gasoline octane number (AKI) evaluation is based on the knock sensor's adaptation values and is displayed in three quality levels (low, medium

and high), corresponding to the octane ratings of commercially available fuels.

Lower octane fuels may cause reduced engine performance, lower fuel economy and increased engine noise level (pre-ignition knocking).

The "Fuel Quality Detection" test provides a total record of fuel grades (knock resistance) used during the vehicle's service, as well as octane number

evaluation for the last five full fuel tanks (with recorded mileage for each refueling).

In the near future, a similar test plan will be available for other engine (DME) variants.

INFORMATION II

With the release of ISTA D 2.19 and ISTA/P 2.37.0, the diesel fuel cetane number can be evaluated on E90 and E70 M57Y-equipped vehicles by

using the test plan B1365_D7USQUAL-DDE 7.3 M57 "Fuel Quality Output".

This test plan can be found by selecting the path: Service Function; Drive; Diesel Electronics (US version); Read Measure Values; Fuel quality.

The cetane number measures how readily the diesel fuel starts to burn under high compression conditions. Fuel with a lower cetane number may

decrease engine starting performance; reduce smoothness of operation; and increase smoke emissions and noise level.

The "Fuel Quality Output" test plan provides a counter reading of three fuel grades (poor, moderate and good), which corresponds to the frequency

of use. The quality reading counter can be reset after the test plan is performed, or will be set to 0 after the DDE reprogramming.
