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.
SERVICE ACTION: REAR SIDE WINDOW: Both rear side fixed windows need to be replaced due to incorrect glue application, this may cause a water leak.
