# Service bulletins for the 2025 BMW 740i

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.

65 bulletins from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

This Service Bulletin provides instructions to clean the intake valves using the BMW Carbon Blaster Tool P/N 81 29 2 208 034 and the S68T / XB1T Kit P/N 83 30 5 BAD 3D5. Refer to SI B04 12 11 for existing documentation about the carbon blaster tool and SI B04 02 26 for the S68T /XB1T tool kit.
- [B170126](/bulletins/11035398.md), 2026-07-31, Service campaign: ENGINE. The coolant vent lines of the low\-temperature circuit are designed to remove air bubbles from the system toensure optimal cooling performance. Internal quality inspections have revealed that leaks may occur due tolocalized material aging on the vent lines. These leaks occur because the material originally used is notsufficiently resistant to the continuously high temperatures. A coolant leak may result and cause a yellow check control message and reduced engine performance.
- [B120326](/bulletins/11035396.md), 2026-07-31, Emissions: ENGINE.

This does not comply with the statutory OBD specifications.
