PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE CUSTOMER DELIVERY OR NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.
SUBJECT
Service Action: Programming Control Units - Transmission Control
SITUATION
A warning gong will sound or a warning is displayed in the instrument cluster if the driver's door is opened with a drive position selected.
If the driver were to leave the vehicle with the engine running and drive position "D" or "R" selected, the automatic transmission would automatically shift into park position "P". If the vehicle is not already secured by the parking brake in this situation, there is a possibility that the vehicle could move forward or backward a few feet until the parking lock engages.
This Service Action will shorten the response time of this function.
Customers will be mailed letters notifying them of the Service Action shortly (copy of the customer letter is attached).
To minimize customer's inconvenience caused by this Service Action, you are being asked to pick-up (and deliver after repair), if necessary, the affected vehicle from customer's home, and provide appropriate alternative transportation.
Customers will be impressed when you return their cars cleaned inside and out and with a full tank of gas. Reimbursement information for the vehicle fueling and valet costs can be found in the Warranty portion of this bulletin.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Service Action involves E70 X5 vehicles with N62TU and N52K engines which were produced from SOP to 12/21/2006.
In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Service Action, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action. The Chassis Number Ranges listed below are only for informational purposes and are not to be considered as the only deciding factor.

Only E70 vehicles with a current integration level of E070-06-12-540 or less are affected.

LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
This Service Action has been assigned code number 489 After the vehicle has been checked, and corrected if necessary, obtain a label (SD 92-320) and:
- emboss your BMW dealer warranty number in the middle of the label (1);
- punch out code number 489 printed on the label and,
- affix the label to the B pillar as shown.
If the vehicle already has a label from a previous Service Action/Recall Campaign, affix the new label next to the old one. Do not affix one label on top of another one because a number from an underlying label could appear in the punched-out hole of the new label.
