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.
CREAKING NOISES WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROAD This Service Information Bulletin (Revision 3) replaces SI B51 26 17 dated September 2017. Creaking (groaning) noises are heard from above the door. Excessive friction between the door seals and the body's door opening.
