Summary

"This Service Information bulletin and attachment supersedes SI B11 16 14 dated May 2015. designates changes to this revision SUBJECT N63 Engine: Check the Timing Chain. INFORMATION This bulletin outlines the procedure for checking the engine timing chains for wear, and should be completed in conjunction with SI B11 06 14, ""N63 Customer Care Package."" The N63CCP and N63 Engine Check the Timing Chain are NOT mandatory Technical Campaigns or Recalls. They should be completed only based on parts availability, workshop capacity, and the customer's schedule. Performing the test plans identified in the procedure below will detect wear at an early stage and, if necessary, provide a repair solution. To avoid future valvetrain wear, the vehicle must be reprogrammed and a shorter oil service interval must be retrofitted via ISTA/P. Finally, drain and replace the engine's oil and filter. After completing all necessary repairs included in the N63 Customer Care Package and the Timing Chain Check, the vehicle must be test driven for up to 30 minutes to ensure that the repairs were performed to the highest standard."

Sublet Code 4

Reimbursement for used quantities of
required operating fluids, including
See sublet reimbursement
engine oil (applicable BMW part
calculation below
numbers. Do not use these part numbers
for claim submission)

Sublet calculation:
Reimbursement for used quantities of required operating fluids, including engine oil (applicable
BMWeBay logo 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.
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:
z

If the engine oil service task shows Recommended, Due or qualifies to be performed based
on the “60-day Bundling” procedure (see SI B01 06 13), reset the engine oil service CBS
data to 100%.
Or

z

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.

https://www.bmwtis.net/tiscode/cgi-bin/bulletin.aspx?sie_path=/tsb/bulletins/htm_store/300... 3/3/2016

Page 15 of 15

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
BMWeBay logo 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 BMWeBay logo 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.
Alternatively, he or she may mail or fax his or her request and documentation directly to the BMWeBay logo
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.
