What it covers
A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.
N63 and S63 Engine: Valve Seal Replacement. Refer to the following applicable SIBs before replacing the valve seals.
