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.

Halogen Headlight Side Bulbs Fail. The check control message (CCM) ""Parking lamp malfunction: Consult service center"" is displayed when the vehicle is started. Defective side light bulb on one or both sides"
