FYI. Has anyone else received this notification? It reads as follows:

"Your 2007 model 335i/335i Coupe BMW automobile has a software error such that the DME may not be able to detect certain emissions related faults. Consequently, the "Service Engine Soon" light may not be illuminated to warn the driver of an emissions related malfunction."

The notification advises the owner to contact an authorized BMW center to have the "Emissions Recall Campaign" performed .

Not really a big deal. I just wanted to give heads up that this is a potential issue.

Here is the SIB for that.

SI B12 06 07
Engine Electrical Systems September 2007
Technical Service

PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE CUSTOMER DELIVERY OR THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.

SUBJECT
Voluntary Emissions Recall 07E-A01: N54 - Reprogramming Vehicle (DME) for OBD Diagnostic

MODEL
E90, E92 with N54 produced up to 10/10/2006

SITUATION
The DME programming, as originally installed, may cause the OBD diagnostic not to detect potential malfunctions of various emission relevant components. As a result, in case of a component malfunction (e.g. oxygen sensor, or EGS control module), the "Service Engine Soon" light will not illuminate.

This diagnostic software error would not cause any driveability problems.

In order to remedy this situation, BMW is conducting a Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign to reprogram the DME control module on all affected vehicles. With the completion of this campaign, the software in the vehicle's control units will be updated as described in SI B09 05 01 (Coding, Individualization, Programming) Procedure B.

A copy of the customer letters is attached.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Recall Campaign involves 335i sedan and coupe vehicles with N54 engines which were produced from 05/24/2006 up to 10/10/2006.

In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Recall Campaign, 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.
