Where can I search for the latest TSBs on the X5?

My car is going into the shop next week and since the shop is at least an hour away from me each way, and I don't get a chance to go to the dealer often, i would like them to take care of all the minor things i can think of.

Edmunds.com has a list but I don't know how up to date they are. I am also in a similar situation. I was concerned the sa might miss a campaign or recall but as others told me on this forum, their online system will take care of it. I wouldnt worry. When I showed up for the first service, they pulled up all the relevant jobs that needed to be done. Mine is a 2010 diesel. If you want I can provide more details from my invoice. To my experience the more likely event is that the tech might miss something. In my case he forgot to reset the service counter so although the service was done the service light came on a couple of days ago. I am going back for this and a couple of other things.

Two different issues. Campaigns and recalls are automatic.

TSBs are neither. A TSB is a technical note from mfg to the public/dealer mechanic as to 'common issues and how to fix them'. Unless the car is experiencing the underlying complaint, demanding a TSB be done is silly.

HOWEVER, often times a TSB might trigger you to say "oh, say, mine did do that once".... or it just remembers you to voice the "proper" complaint so they will do a fix that perhaps you want done.

Took me all of 3 seconds to find this with Google Search:

Like ARD said, they don't usually apply TSB unless you bring it up. I had my 2007 X5 recently updated to include all bulletins as I was experiencing the lunging problem while in the low gears. The SA had to keep my car overnight has the update was taking longer than expected. When I pressed to him as to why it was taking so long, he said that the car had not been updated since it was first purchased. So be prepared that they might have to keep your car over night.
