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.
Noise from Front Windshield. When driving at varying road speeds, a wind or whistling noise may be heard coming from the windshield at the Apillars. The gap between the drip molding and the A-pillar is excessive or uneven.
