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.

A knocking, "ƒÂ¢"‚€"‚œthump"ƒÂ¢"‚€"‚-type noise may be heard from the front axle during straight-ahead driving on uneven road surfaces at low speed, e.g., below 40 mph.
