Service bulletin BMWOCT0612
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
N63 Misfire Faults Stored in DME Fault Memory - Diagnostic Hints. Please follow the procedures below when diagnosing a Service Engine Soon lamp, illuminated with misfire faults, stored in the DME fault memory. Always diagnose the vehicle using the misfire test plan (AT1214_DI8MISFIRE - Misfiring detection) first. After completion of this test plan, repair the vehicle as directed before performing any other suggested engine or fuel system-related test plans, e.g., AT1214_DI8KHDR - High-pressure fuel system, AT1214_DI_GEM - Mixture adaptation, etc. Failure to diagnose the engine or fuel system issue in this order could cause incorrect diagnosis and repeat repair attempts. A Service Information bulletin is being prepared.
