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.
DIAGNOSING NOISE FROM THE REAR EXHAUST FLAP (B58) This Service Information Bulletin (Revision #1) replaces SI B18 01 18 dated February 2018. There is a rattling noise from the rear exhaust flap during initial start-up. The rattle could last up to sixty seconds.
