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 Ingress into the Luggage Compartment after opening the Tailgate. A small quantity of water may enter the luggage compartment after opening the tailgate CAUSE The water drain hose(s) on the rear spoiler is blocked.
