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.

DELIVERY STOP: CYLINDER HEAD COVER DELIVERY STOP: CYLINDER HEAD COVER. The cylinder head cover may have been damaged during assembly. It will need to be inspected and, if necessary, replaced.
