Abstract: Grunewald, Mennicke and Vaserstein proved that the Bass stable rank of $mathbbZ[x]$, the ring of the univariate polynomials over $mathbbZ$, is $3$. This note addresses minor errors found in their proof. Using their method, we show in addition that the unimodular row $(1+x,12,x^2+16)$ is not stable.
