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.
GROANING OR CRACKING NOISE WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING THE DOORS: A groaning or cracking sound is present when opening and/or closing any of the doors. Interference between the door panel and door.
