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.
Passenger Side Mirror Dimming Feature Operational Change. INFORMATION The automatically dimming exterior mirror function on the passenger's side has been deleted from the Option Code 430 as noted above.
