BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 11013041 · Jan 2025 · also written SI B34 09 21, B340921
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 turbine-like noise can be heard from the rear axle while deceleration during the first 300 miles of operation when braking from low speed.
