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.

SUNROOF REOPENS WHEN CLOSING FROM TILT POSITION This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B51 22 16 dated August 2016.. Sunroof reopens when initiating automatic close from tilt position (momentary push) even though track is free of obstruction.
