2025 BMW I5 Technical Service Bulletins

24 technical service bulletins (TSBs) are on record for the 2025 BMW I5. TSBs are notes manufacturers send to dealers about repair procedures for issues seen in the field. They are not recalls and do not by themselves mean a vehicle has a fault.

• 11036379Aug 20, 2026Steering. “Cracking” noise might be heard when turning the steering wheel from lock to lock. See attached video V3202 26 EPS noise.
• 11036383Aug 12, 2026Electrical system. A faulty electric auxiliary heater may have been installed in the certain vehicles. This could result in thefailure of the electric auxiliary heater, utilized for the vehicle interior.
• 11034454Jun 6, 2026Transmission and drivetrain. The vehicle will no longer move when put into gear. There may also be loud noise coming from the HEAT*(electric drivetrain)/Rear axles.
• 11034463Jun 5, 2026Electrical system. Charging sessions cannot be started or they are interrupted while using a Level 2 AC high-power chargingstation, or with a Level 3 DC charging station. Charging may start normally but can interrupt after some time. Level 2 (240 V) Flex Charger and Wall boxmay also be affected. The red or white LED is displayed on the high-voltage charging socket; however, no associated fault codesare stored.
• 11029046Feb 25, 2026Engine. There is coolant leaking from under the car Low heater output Possible Check Control message “Drive, you can continue driving” (ID49) Possible fault codes stored in these BEV vehicles: 224163 – Electric auxiliary heater for the high-voltage battery unit: Undervoltage or internal communication fault 8049AA - Coolant level sensor, expansion tank: Coolant level low or short circuit to ground or line disconnection…
• 11027770Jan 3, 2026Body and structure. Through quality checks, it has been detected that the front left water drain hose for the slide/tilt sunroof isnot connected.
• 11026953Dec 3, 2025Body and structure. Delivery stop: sunroof water drain hose
• 11025685Nov 10, 2025Exterior lighting. RSU availability. The ambient lighting color cannot be saved permanently. The personalized color of the ambient lighting resets after the vehicle has gone to sleep.
• 11024714Oct 21, 2025Electrical system. RSU availability. It is possible the State of Health (SoH) of the high-voltage (HV) battery is displayed incorrectly to the customer. The value is continuously displayed as 100% regardless of the actual ageing of the HV battery.
• 11022362Aug 26, 2025Electrical system. A faulty electric auxiliary heater may have been installed in the certain vehicles. This could result in thefailure of the electric auxiliary heater, utilized for the vehicle interior.
• 11022100Aug 22, 2025Brakes. The parking brake actuator has not been wound correctly so that it cannot be applied or released. Check Control message “Parking brake failed. When parking, secure the vehicle against rolling away. Mustbe checked by the Service Partner.” The vehicle is still held by the unaffected side and the transmission lock.
• 11019564Jun 11, 2025Brakes. A loud “click”- type noise can be heard from the rear axle brakes when driving off forwards, and/or in reverse.
• 11018729May 30, 2025Electrical system. The operating time value was written too high in the Storage Management Electronics (SME) during thehigh-voltage battery “End Of Line” (EOL) test. The excessive operating hours input results in a significant limitation in the charging capacity when vehicleis be charged with DC.
• 11017503Apr 30, 2025Engine. The coolant hose which runs from the combined charging unit (CCU) to the front electric motor’s housingmay develop a leak at the motor end of the hose.
• 11016419Mar 31, 2025Engine. There is coolant leaking from under the car Low heater output Possible Check Control message “Drive, you can continue driving” (ID49) Possible fault codes stored in these BEV vehicles: 224163 – Electric auxiliary heater for the high-voltage battery unit: Undervoltage or internal communication fault 8049AA - Coolant level sensor, expansion tank: Coolant level low or short circuit to ground or line disconnection…
• 11016432Mar 27, 2025Brakes. The parking brake actuator cannot be activated or deactivated due to a failed weld. Check Control message “Parking brake failed. When parking, secure the vehicle against rolling away. Mustbe checked by the Service Partner.” The vehicle is still held by the unaffected side and the transmission lock.
• 11015536Mar 6, 2025Steering. Parts of the steering shaft universal joint may have been joined together without having beengreased. As a result, there can be audible squeaking and cracking noises. In some cases, moresteering force is required.
• 11014654Feb 21, 2025Brakes. Delivery stop: emf actuator
• 11014652Feb 7, 2025Steering. Delivery stop: steering shaft universal joint
• 11006759Aug 23, 2024Other or unknown. Cover Housing Return
• 11005225Jul 24, 2024Transmission and drivetrain. The vehicle will no longer move when put into gear. There may also be loud noise coming from the HEAT*(electric drivetrain)/Rear axles. *German acronym for Highly integrated electric drivetrain topology- Hochintegrierte Elektrifizierte Antriebs-Topologie
• 11005226Jul 13, 2024Transmission and drivetrain. While driving at low speeds (15-40 mph) on flat road surfaces, a knocking noise from the front axle may beheard during steering wheel movements.
• 11005233Jul 10, 2024Body and structure. When driving over rough surfaces, a low-frequency rattling noise can be heard inside the vehicle's cabin.The noise typically sounds as though it is coming from the front right footwell area.
• 10253344Apr 26, 2024Engine cooling. There is coolant leaking from under the car Low heater output Possible Check Control message “Drive, you can continue driving” (ID49) Possible fault codes stored in these BEV vehicles: 224163 – Electric auxiliary heater for the high-voltage battery unit: Undervoltage or internal communication fault 8049AA - Coolant level sensor, expansion tank: Coolant level low or short circuit to…
