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.
When outside temp is below freezing the outside doors will not close or are difficult to open. A door cable has moisture intrusion and freezes.
