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.
THUMP AT END OF REAR WINDOW TRAVEL . When opening, a loud thump is heard as the rear window reaches the bottom of its movement. Window guide.
