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.
B-PILLAR WIND NOISE . While driving at highway speeds, wind noise can be heard from the rear of either or both front doors. Sealing lip of inner window cavity seal is bent as shown on left below. Seal placement should be as shown on right, parallel to green line.
