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.
WATER LEAKING INTO REAR COMPARTMENT. Water is found in rear compartment. CAUSE Seal around fuel filler tube (located by red lines) is not effective. Replace cover pot (bowl).
