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.
DEACTIVATION OF CONTACTLESS TAILGATE OPENING AND CLOSING: Customer desires to have contactless tailgate opening and closing (Smart Opener) deactivated.
