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.

Edge Protection Trim Is Scratched. The outside edge protector (B-pillar), where the rear edge of the front door glass makes contact, is scratched. Front window glass is out of adjustment
