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.
WINDOW FRAME TRIM OF FRONT DOOR IS DISPLACED. ? Noise detected upon closing door ? Damage to one or both window frame trims (front and rear door). CAUSE Front window frame trim is offset toward ""B"" pillar (as shown). Replace one or both window frame trim panels, if damaged."
