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.
RATTLE NOISE FROM COWL TRIM: A rattle noise is present while driving from the cowl area under the windshield at temperatures below 50C°F. The rattle may be present from either or both sides (right and/or left).
