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.
Adaptive headlights intermittently inoperative. Headlamps work normally; only the adaptive cornering feature where the headlamps rotate in association with the steering angle is affected. Models E60, E61, E63 & E64.
