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 NOISE FROM DOORS. A groaning noise is heard from any of the doors when driving over rough road surfaces. Excessive friction between window guide and door opening. Situation is worsened by: * Option SA 760 high-gloss shadow line * High ambient temperature * Uneven driving surface.
