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.

RATTLE NOISE FROM DOOR WHEN CLOSING: A rattle or buzzing sound may be heard from either door when closing.
