Not covered. The battery is only covered under the original warranty/maintenance plan. CPO does not cover the battery and even the extended maintenance does not cover the battery. So, as I previously stated, you do not fall within the criteria for a battery replacement under the SIB.

They tested my battery and it checked-out fine. I could show you the paperwork if you'd like to see it. |

Just got mine back from Bel Air BMW (Maryland). It went in Monday 1/26 and received all the parts. My service report looks like the one up the page. Did not need timing chain and I had just received a new battery under warranty in November.
Car was actually ready Monday 2/2 except that they couldn't code the module that operates the power tailgate so they ordered one in. That one didn't work either and it turned out BMW had sent them the wrong program. Car feels smoother although that's probably placebo. Hoping the mpgs get a little better. I get between 12 and 13. Bel Air BMW did a bang-up job as usual. The service dept is a class act and always has been in the 8 years I have been going there.

INFORMATION This bulletin outlines a customer satisfaction measure that has been designed exclusively for the BMW vehicles listed above. It involves the replacement of the 12-volt battery as a preventive maintenance measure. This 12-volt battery replacement measure is: Effective with repairs dated on or after January 1, 2015. Applicable to vehicles that are still covered by the BMW Maintenance Program. This program is valid for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. If the battery was replaced previously within the last 12 months, then the battery replacement outlined below (combined with performing the engine oil service) is not necessary. Please check the warranty claim history for the specific vehicle in the DCSnet Warranty Vehicle Inquiry to confirm if a battery was replaced in the previous 12 months. Vehicles with an N63 Engine Vehicles with N63 engines require additional cooling capacity, and the activation of the various cooling system components places additional demands on the battery. Several enhancements have been made to the power management system on such vehicles. However, in a quest to ensure total customer satisfaction, please replace the 12-volt battery on a preventive maintenance basis at every engine oil service (engine oil service counter # 1, # 2, # 3, etc.), unless the battery was replaced within the last 12 months. Note: The Key Reader/ISPA Light application will not show a “combined” battery replacement with engine oil service counter # 1 and # 3. Disregard this and replace the battery while performing the engine oil service. Vehicles with an N55, N57, N63T, S63, or N74 Engine Last edited by lanbrown; 02-04-2015 at 05:59 PM.. |

1 week down. All I know is they are replacing the following: fuel injectors, the mass air flow sensor, and the brake vacuum pump. Everything else tested fine. My vehicle ran great so hoping that stays the same.
Said BMW has a big parts back up and it might be another 1.5-2 weeks. I have a 535i loaner that is loaded out. It's nice but really makes me appreciate what I have and I want it back! haha |

12/2010 build w/ 26k miles. Mine was in for a seat repair and they noticed oil leaking from the crank case. Sounds like they're tying this into the recall somehow even though mine is an S63.
I got a 335i as a loaner and it feels like I'm driving around in a golf cart after being in an X5. Not too bad though for zipping around town. |

Search for it, it is out there. You want information, take some initiative.
Just to show you that all vehicles are not covered to get a battery replacement. 1) Notice the January 1st, 2015 statement 2) It has been confirmed by BMW NA http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho....php?p=8862026 Last edited by lanbrown; 02-05-2015 at 03:01 PM.. |

From the original bulletin B001314 - "Dealership instructions include checking the timing chain for stretching and replacing it if necessary, replacing the fuel injectors, mass air flow sensors, crankcase vent lines, battery, engine vacuum pump and low pressure fuel sensor. The sweeping recall also extended to vehicles that had gone out of warranty, no matter how many miles were accumulated on the vehicle. |

if you'd just linked the whole thing, it would have cleared the matter up for everyone else here who was looking for help. For a new guy, you're kind of a dick, aren't ya? Quote:

When you resort to name calling, you are just a immature and have no value to add.

Apologize for the name calling - venting a little for making me work so hard to get to the simple answer that the electronics service bulletin superseded the original N63 bulletin. A very simple thing to have either typed out or just copied and pasted from your other sources man!
Since you're new here, it came off as either uninformed or condescending, FYI. |
