SIB 51 23 09: Door service information
Door service information on BMW F01/F02 models (2009–2011); BMW explains the cause and the approved repair.
BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10040174 · Mar 2011 · also written SI B51 23 09, B512309
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 cable for the outside door handle on both front doors may not be watertight. Water and/or dirt may enter the cable and make the handle difficult to move.
