It might be farther than the M5 but I’ve read stories of the leaks getting into other engine parts and causing bigger problems in the M550, also.

Interesting. The bulletin even mentions not working on cars with an existing problem where replacing it with the known parts numbers with issue is the solution. Maybe ask your dealer if they got new guidance and a new part or other fix. It seems like it would be odd for you dealer to proactively schedule work if it was in violation of the bulletin.

Maybe there’s a fix and it’s rolling out in Europe first? Logistics of doing this across the US and the 340+ dealers is prob a bit challenging but maybe under way? 🤷

Are you driving the car? Have you had any signs of a problem with the tank?

got you. I see dried coolant spots around my tank. I took picture and leaving it as is to see if the problem progress or if it was a one time thing.
