This Service Information bulletin supersedes S.I. 99 01 90 (3125) dated October 1990. It provides flat rate information. Please remove and discard S.I. 99 01 90 (3125) dated October 1990 from your S.I. binder.

SUBJECT: Paint in Engine and Luggage Compartments, Metallic Colors

MODELS: All

Situation: As of approximately June 1990 production, clear coating of the metallic color paints in the engine compartment and luggage compartment was discontinued, as it was determined that it is unnecessary.

In case of customer inquiries, please advise them that the deletion of the clear coat is intentional, and does not constitute a defect. Subsequent clear coating of the paint in the engine or luggage compartment will not be reimbursed by BMW.

Flat rate operations and times for non-metallic paints should be used when necessary to repaint the engine or luggage compartments of vehicles produced from June 1990 on.
