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.
INTERFERENCE NOISE WHEN FOLDING THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS: Interference noises (creaking groaning clicking) may be present when folding the side view mirrors in or out. Excessive friction on the pivoting mechanism of the side view mirror hinge.
