SIB 51 09 13: Door warning message
Door warning message on BMW E60/F07/F10 models (2011–2014); BMW gives an inspection and repair procedure.
BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10149599 · May 2013 · also written SI B51 09 13, B510913
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.
The Door Springs into Pre-Locking Position. When the customer closes the door, it may seem that the door has closed completely. However, it is only in the pre-locking position, not the fully locked position. A check control message indicates that the door is open.
