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 Rearview Mirror. Rattling noises can be heard from the rearview mirror when driving. CAUSE The mirror electrical connector is loose in the mirror base.
