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.

Head-Up Display Is Too Dark. The Head-up Display (HUD) is too dark. Rain/light/solar/condensation sensor (RLSB) hardware error
