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.
GAP VISIBLE BETWEEN UPPER A-PILLAR COWL PANEL SEAL AND CONVERTIBLE TOP SEAL.. When the Retractable Hard Top (RHT) is closed, a gap is visible between the upper A-pillar seal and the cowl panel seal. Photo at left shows gap between Apillar seal and cowl panel seal (inside view).
