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.

NOISES WHEN OPENING/CLOSING DOOR . While opening or closing the door, a creaking noise is emitted from the door. Friction between trim panel and the door where they make contact.
