And:
When other additional work and/or parts are required as a direct result of this issue, including the applicable
labor operations listed in KSD2, claim these items under the defect code listed above.
And:
Sublet – Materials
Sublet Code 4
See sublet
reimbursement
calculation below
Reimbursement for used quantities
of required operating fluids,
including engine oil (applicable
BMW
part numbers. Do not use
these part numbers for claim
submission)
Sublet calculation:
Reimbursement for used quantities of required operating fluids, including engine oil (applicable BMW
part
numbers) at dealer net plus handling.
Enter the material cost in sublet and itemize the amount in the claim comment section.
Vehicle Programming/Encoding
Programming and encoding includes performing a “Vehicle test” (with vehicle diagnosis system – checking
faults) and connecting an approved battery charger/power supply to the vehicle.
If a vehicle control module or component was working properly and/or had no related faults stored prior to
vehicle programming and it fails to program correctly and/or requires initialization, this additional work must
be claimed with separate labor operations under the defect code listed above; refer to KSD2.
Repairs to address control modules and/or components with pre-existing conditions are not eligible to be
claimed under the defect code listed in this bulletin.
https://www.bmwtis.net/tiscode/cgi-bin/bulletin.aspx?sie_path=/tsb/bulletins/htm_store/235... 6/4/2015
Page 16 of 17
After the Engine Oil Service Retrofit is Completed, a CBS Data Reset and if applicable a CBS
Correction Must Be Performed
The engine oil service interval calculation will now be based on 12 months or approximately 10,000 miles;
one of the following steps should be performed:
• If the engine oil service task shows Recommended, Due or qualifies to be performed based on the “60day Bundling” procedure (see SI B01 06 13), reset the engine oil service CBS data to 100%.
Or
• If the engine oil service task does not show Recommended, Due or does not qualify to be performed
based on the “60-day Bundling” procedure, reset the engine oil service CBS data to 100% and
perform a CBS correction, in order to reduce the engine oil service counter by 1.
Combined and Other Required Maintenance Service Tasks
Please be sure to perform the service tasks that are “combined with engine oil” when applicable, as well as
any “stand alone” maintenance tasks that qualify.
If eligible, claim these other items under the BMW
Maintenance Program or, after reviewing with the
customer with his or her approval, invoice these items separately as customer-pay.
Overlapping Labor with Other Repairs
If invoicing additional KSD2 flat rate labor operation codes for the other repair work results in overlapping
labor being claimed, invoice work time labor operation 00 50 000 instead for the additional time (FRU) minus
the overlap.
On the repair order and in the claim comment section, please identify the labor operations that labor operation
code 00 50 000 replaces and itemize the claimed FRU amount.
Even though work time labor operation code 00 50 000 ends in “000,” it is not considered a Main labor
operation. When work time labor operation 00 50 000 is being used for work that will be claimed under
different defect codes, separate punch time(s) are required.
Previous Customer-pay Repairs
BMW
of North America, LLC will provide reimbursement for “qualifying customer-pay” timing chain
repairs” that were performed on an eligible vehicle prior to the release of the N63 Engine Timing Chain
Inspection Measure.
Customer-pay repairs, when they were performed, are subject to the applicable New Vehicle/SAV Limited
Warranty’s exclusions and limitations, in addition to the vehicle and coverage eligibility requirements.
Repairs performed on ineligible vehicles or the diagnosis and repair of other unrelated issues do not qualify
for reimbursement.
To request reimbursement for a “qualifying customer-pay repair,” performed either by an authorized BMW![]()
center or independent repair shop, please have your customer submit a reimbursement request online at
www.BMW-RP.com.
Reimbursement Procedure
To initiate the online process, the customer will be asked to attach PDF files of the required documentation;
this is outlined in the attachment below.
https://www.bmwtis.net/tiscode/cgi-bin/bulletin.aspx?sie_path=/tsb/bulletins/htm_store/235... 6/4/2015

Alternatively, he or she may mail or fax his or her request and documentation directly to the BMW
Customer
Reimbursement Center.
For more information, please refer to the PDF attachment: “B110614_Customer_CP_Reimbursement
Procedure” that is included in SI B11 06 14. A copy of this attachment can be provided to the customer.
