And, if applicable:
When other additional work and/or parts are required as a direct result of this issue, including the applicable
labor operations listed in AIR, claim these items under the defect code listed above.
And, as needed:
Sublet – Bulk Materials (RO and Claim Comments Required)
Sublet Code
Reimbursement for the repair-related bulk materials (Do not use the
Up to $100.00
4
BMW part numbers for claim submission)

is at the dealer net price amount for the quantity used plus your center’s handling.
Enter this material cost in sublet and itemize the amount on the repair order and in claim comment section
Claim Repair Comments
Based on which one applies to your center, please refer to SI B01 01 20 or B01 07 20 for the applicable
procedure for documenting, claiming, and explaining, on the RO and in the claim comments, your diagnosis
work time (WT), job/repair work time (WT), and the vehicle repairs your center performed, unless otherwise
required by State law.
Programming and Encoding - Vehicle Control Units (RO and Claim Comments Required)
This procedure automatically reprograms and encodes any vehicle control modules that do not have the
latest software I-level.
If one or more control modules fail during the reprogramming procedure, claim the required consequential
repair work procedures to address this issue (including performing the IRAP Control Unit Recovery first as
required, refer to the SIB in AIR) under the Defect Code in this bulletin with the labor operations in AIR that
apply.
Please explain the additional work procedures that were performed (The why and the what) on the repair
order and in the claim comments.
For covered repairs that address control module failures that occurred prior to performing this
reprogramming procedure, claim this work with the Defect Code and labor operations (including diagnosis)
in AIR that apply.
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:
Copyright ©2022 BMW
of North America, Inc.
If the engine oil service task shows either Bundling Eligible (BE), Recommended or Due, reset the
engine oil service CBS data to 100%, or
If the engine oil service task does not show Bundling Eligible (BE), Recommended, or Due, reset the
engine oil service CBS data to 100% and perform a CBS correction to reduce the engine oil service
counter by one (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 standalone maintenance tasks that qualify.
If eligible, claim these other items under the BMW Maintenance Program or, after reviewing with the
