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.
Retractable Hard Top (RHT) Is Not Stacking Properly - Frame Bent. The RHT frame is bent or twisted and cannot be operated in either direction, or the roof shells are not stacking properly. The hydraulic roof cylinders operate out of sequence causing the frame to twist.
