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.
Cavity Sealing Wax on Headlights. Excessive body cavity wax is seen under the hood and/or running down the headlight lenses.
