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.

Wind Noise from Front Door Window Seal by Side Mirror. The front window may have wind noise by the side mirror when driving. CAUSE The window guide seal is not properly fitted to the door.
