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.

RUBBER BUMPER PAD PULLS OFF OF CONVERTIBLE TOP LATCH: Rubber bumper pads (circled) are normally attached to the latch on the convertible top.
