ISO Service Bulletins

Where can one find service bulletins for oilheads?

Sounds like the newer bulletins are not available/proprietary:

At one point, I was able to extract Airhead bulletins before the site was shutdown. I've not heard of anything newer than that being available.

BMW service bulletins are internal documents and are not released.
That being said, some are leaked out. I've collected a few over the years.

If you call a dealer with the VIN they can look up what has or has not been done by a dealer.

But only if done by that particular dealer, right? Fortunately the PO had work done at "my" dealer, so I have access to some past records.

I was thinking more about maintenance procedures that have been changed since the manuals were published, e.g. tightening procedure for alternator bolts, as provided by GSAddict here (post #15): https://forums.bmwmoa.org/showthread.php?89354-R1100-belt-noise&highlight=alternator

Warranty work, recall work done will show up at any dealer.
BMW has to keep track that it was done.

But I see that is not what you are looking for.
