Parts Information

Due to limited availability of parts for this Service Action, dealer parts order quantities will be restricted. The new campaign control system will be used to screen dealer orders for excessive quantities. A DOS message will be sent out indicating how many pieces per week a dealer will be allowed to draw from BMW NA. Please place orders using only the logical part numbers. Ordering of the individual part numbers within the kits or any quantities ordered above the maximum weekly allotment will automatically be backordered and canceled. The only exceptions to these restrictions are the engine oil, oil filter, antifreeze and thermostat gasket which may be ordered via normal ordering methods. Should there be any questions, please contact the Parts Technical Group at (201) 307-4208.





Above is a listing of the logical part numbers which should be ordered to support the Service Action.
