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.
Rattle Or Buzzing Noise At 1500 To 2200 Rpm. When accelerating, particularly when driving off on a slope, there is a buzzing, rattling noise coming from the driver's side underbody, near the footwell area. The quick-release coupling for the fuel line is contacting the fuel line protective plate.
