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.
DOOR FRAME TRIM DAMAGED. Door seal on the A-Pillar is damaged near exterior mirror. Mirror base gasket protrudes and interferes with door seal.
