BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10039592 · May 2011 · also written SI B51 18 06, B511806
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 painted surface on the interior door handle may peel due to exposure to hand creams and sun-tanning lotions.
