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.
WIPERS ACTIVATED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN A DRIVE-THROUGH CAR WASH: When the vehicle is in a drive-through car wash with the automatic wiper mode selected, the wipers may activate.
