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.
Heavy condensation on xenon headlights. In heavy rain conditions or high humidty, condensation may build up inside one or both headlight(s). The condensation is still present even after a few dry days.
