BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11006728 · Aug 2024 · also written SI B33 02 24, B330224

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.

When driving over a rough road surface (e.g., cobblestone or similar surfaces), a rattling noise may beheard from the rear axle. See attached video V33 01 24, raise your speaker volume.
