Service Information Bulletin #121400 may apply to some board members. If so, let's hope it was caught and corrected at the 1,200 mile inspection.
Here are a few excerpts from 121400--
PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.
SUBJECT: M5 DME REPLACEMENT
MODEL: E39 M5
SITUATION: An incorrect DME may have been installed in certain M5 vehicles. Consequently, the engine may run with an enriched fuel mixture and may set various oxygen sensor and mixture faults.
CAUSE: Incorrect DME hardware.
CORRECTION: Check the DME for a "green dot" sticker and replace the DME, if necessary.
AFFECTED VEHICLES: This campaign involves M5 with S62 engines which were produced from 9/22/00 - 10/13/00.
In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this campaign it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of the DCS (Dealer Communication System). Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
