I would have check idle valve before fuel line sensors... but an idle problem can be caused by many things, that's what makes this diagnostic difficult.

@Move Over we need to get clarification if this is for the idle control valve or the throttle actuators themselves.....

Submit your reimbursement request at BMW-RP.com.
Component Code:
B-ELWR 2016 Idle Control Device 10Y120M

Have a copy of the invoice and proof of payment ready to submit.

This warranty was not purchased. Inquire of your Service Advisor.

Can you post a photo of the letter you received? And does it reference BMW Technical Service Bulletin "SI B01 03 16" anywhere in the letter?

Just got the letter as well. That's one less thing to worry about now.

For the love of rod bearings...

Anyone know if your are still covered for the icv under the emissions warranty if you are out of factory warranty?

doogee · 01-25-2017, 07:15 AM

Not this again.

This is NOT about throttle actuators. They are not covered.

This applies to the Idle Air Controller. Completely different part.

Pleeease stop spreading this incorrect information.

bigjae1976 · 01-27-2017, 07:53 PM

Is this for all E9X M3s or just certain years?

It appears to be by VIN.
The letter I got identified my car specifically. It does not cover a period of years or a series of VINs.

Also, the letter is "..extending the limited warranty for the engine's: Idle Control Device (Actuator)." No other part is referenced.

Yes, that's the whole point of emissions warranty coverage. 7 years 70k miles, if you live in the few states covered

Open up your warranty booklet and there's a whole section on what is and not covered under CA emissions warranty.

Great info. Thanks!

osukf09 · 02-03-2017, 11:38 PM

FYI this is vin specific. Not simply by Year. I have a 2011 and just asked my SA and I'm not covered by the extension.

Another member on here has a 2011 that's covered. Any idea how they could be choosing who is covered and who's not?

Bump for the same question regarding how they're determining who's covered??

Revvvm3 · 02-05-2017, 12:05 PM

Anyone have the service bulletin? Looking to drop off the car at the dealership on Tuesday.

Again...this does not cover throttle actuators.

osukf09 · 02-10-2017, 02:17 AM

Bump for any sort of clarity around which cars were seemingly randomly chosen to be supported by an extended warranty and those that were less fortunate

I may put up a stink with bmw NA over this bs

AWZOOM3 · 02-14-2017, 06:14 PM

I just called BMW NA and there is no extended warranty on the TAs of my 2008 E93 M3.

osukf09 · 03-28-2017, 05:13 PM

What's the best way to reach BMW NA?
