No they don't. They are simply splicing on a new connector at the end of the cable where it goes into the junction box. The pre-recall repair involved replacing the entire cable which required interior removal.

Not even the battery, just the connection at the junction box.

I had this work done just the other day when i came in for other service
Heres the pic. Says repair battery cable. Now i have to go back at check to make sure they put everything back correctly especially if they ripped the seat and carpet out. As you will notice the bulletin number is not 61 08 11 but 61 08 13. I dont know if that is because im in Canada. EDIT: Now that i look at it there is no mention of touching the fuse box, just the battery connection. Hmm? |

In their defense, those do sound like issues resulting from a weak battery but they should be able to just test the battery and know for sure |

B61 08 11 is the old bulletin that called for complete cable replacement - pre-recall. B61 02 13 is the new updated bulletin for the new cable repair. I don't know what 61 08 13 is - maybe a Canadian specific bulletin...

Does anyone know how BMW came up with the date ranges? I have a February 2007 build 3 series coupe (so it falls one month outside of the March 2007 date range), but twice in the past four months have had my car shut off while driving. Seems like the battery cable is the likely culprit, but I'm not sure if BMW changed the way it does its battery cable in BMW 3 series coupes between February and March 2007. If anyone has an answer, I'd very much appreciate it.

Why not change your own? Much cheaper and easy to do

So what's the verdict: Are they replacing the whole cable from the battery to the fust box, or just the terminals at the battery and/or fuse box?
I need to know before bringing it in because I have wiring for my radar detector that needs to be moved or disassembled depending on where they need to work. |

I asked exactly what they would be doing when my appt was made - SA had no idea about specifics on my E92 - stated there were a few different models involved in the recall & wasn't sure what needed done on each...
I find it hard to believe that it would take 3+ hrs (as was quoted for my E92) to replace some battery terminals At any rate - I will know what they did on E92 come end of day this Tuesday (3/12)
