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.

HUMMING RUMBLING NOISES AFTER OPENING THE DOOR: After waking up/unlocking and entering the vehicle a humming/rumbling noise may occur.
