Service bulletins for the 2025 BMW M5

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.

42 on file from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

Bulletins, newest first
B6118262026-09-28. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Due to unfavorable software, the Storage Management Electronics (SME) will not show fault codes that trigger the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) when performing ISTA Service Function "Display Permanent SAE Fault Codes." As a result, workshops will have to identify SME-specific permanent SAE (emission related) Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in the vehicle during diagnosis or when preparing a vehicle for a State Emission Inspection and Maintenance through a workaround procedure.
B6305262026-08-27. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. After programming the vehicle via ISTA/RSUto I-level …26-03-5xx, some of the interiorambient lighting strips (arrows) may begin tofail sporadically after a deep sleep cycle.
B6514262026-07-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The vehicle may experience various operational issues with Apple CarPlay Projected Modes such as: Dropped connections No automatic reconnection Display errors
B1203262026-07-03. Warranty extension. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Due to an implementation error in various OBD diagnostics in the vehicle's control units, in very rare cases itmay happen that stored fault memory codes (DTCs) and the MIL (warning light) are not automaticallydeleted even though the underlying malfunction has already been rectified. This does not comply with the statutory OBD specifications.
B6103242026-04-27. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Gen 5 BEV/PHEV vehicles may set the Combined Charging Unit (CCU) in programming abort due to no communication to the HV charge socket electronics.
B2401262026-04-27. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. A possible “jerking” motion may arise when using the Parking Maneuver Assistant in purely electric mode in vehicles with 7 kW charging power and a programmed I-level starting from 25-03-500
B6123252026-01-23. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is triggered and 0318E2 AC charging, charging electronics 1,component protection: Overload current on AC side fault may be stored during AC charging Level 1(120 VAC). Note: Despite the fault memory entry (and the malfunction indicator lamp), the AC charging process willcontinue operating as designed and there is no related drivability complaint. Affected PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) vehicles with CCU-03 (7.4 kW combined charging unit).
B6122252026-01-23. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) may be triggered by the erroneous fault code: BA0023 - Control unit: internal fault (software group fault) In addition, the BA0008 - CCU, internal coolant temperature sensor: Signal implausible faults may be stored in the CCU memory. However, AC charging will still operate as designed, without any related drivability complaints. Affected PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) vehicles with CCU_P1 (7.4 kW and 11 kW) with I-levels from …24-07- 500 to …25-11-5xx.
B6119252026-01-23. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. SITUATION The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is triggered by the erroneous fault code 031BFC- AC charging, charging electronics 2,internal fault: No internal capacitor discharge stored in the CCU. However, AC charging is operating as designed without a charging concern or issue. Affected PHEV vehicles have the CCU-03 (7.4 kW / 11 kW) with I-levels from 24-07-500 to 25-11-5xx
B6119252025-11-03. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. RSU availability. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is triggered by the erroneous fault code 031BFC- AC charging,charging electronics 2, internal fault: No internal capacitor discharge stored in the CCU. However, AC charging is operating as designed without a charging concern or issue. Affected PHEV vehicles have the CCU-03 (7.4 kW / 11 kW) with I-levels from 24-07-500 to 25-11-5xx
B8406252025-10-09. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. In some situations, an emergency call may be triggered in the vehicle without either the customer pressing the SOS Call button, or an airbag deployment event. In some cases, the customer may not even be inside the vehicle.
B3408252025-10-09. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Starting from I-level …24-07-500, it is possible that the Automatic Hold function is not automatically storedfor the next journey. The function must be activated again by the driver at the beginning of every trip. After asoftware update to 25-03-500 and higher, this occurs more frequently.
B6520252025-09-06. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. After replacing the Multifunctional Display (MFD), the Central Information Display (CID) is black. Thebacklight of the CID is illuminated, and touch function does register an audible sound.
B6404252025-07-31. Service campaign. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. After performing a cabin air filter replacement maintenance service task, or after a similar repair thatrequired the removal and installation of the filter’s housing cover; the following air flap and/or air temperaturesensor faults are stored in the BCP: 80114D - Stepper motor: Unexpected error in Driving Cycle 801168 - Temperature sensor ventilation left or ventilation: short to ground 80116A - Temperature sensor ventilation right: short to ground 80116B - Temperature sensor ventilation right: short to plus or open circuit 80116C - Temperature sensor footwell left or footwell: short to ground 80116D - Temperature sensor footwell left or footwell: short to plus or open circuit 80116E - Temperature sensor footwell right: short to ground 80116F - Temperature sensor footwell right: short to plus or open circuit 80435B - Stepper motors: short-circuit by mass
B6404252025-07-28. Service campaign. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The following air flap and/or air temperature sensor faults are stored in the BCP. 80114D - Stepper motor: Unexpected error in Driving Cycle 801168 - Temperature sensor ventilation left or ventilation: short to ground 80116A - Temperature sensor ventilation right: short to ground 80116B - Temperature sensor ventilation right: short to plus or open circuit 80116C - Temperature sensor footwell left or footwell: short to ground 80116D - Temperature sensor footwell left or footwell: short to plus or open circuit 80116E - Temperature sensor footwell right: short to ground 80116F - Temperature sensor footwell right: short to plus or open circuit 80435B - Stepper motors: short-circuit by mass To prevent harness damage the wiring harness will receive a new retention strap the next time the vehicle comes to the shop for its cabin air filter service.
