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.
SUBJECT Whistling Noise from the B-pillar. A whistling noise can be heard from the left or right side B-pillar area when the sunroof is open or tilted at highway speeds. Edge protection on the B-pillar
