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.

G12 Light Function Operation . Customers are unsure of the behavior of the lighting functions and the operating logic. G12 lighting functions and operational logic are new.
