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 B PILLAR AREA WHILE DRIVING: A rattle noise can be heard in the lower B pillar area on either side while driving, mostly at highway speeds.
