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.
Rattling Noise from the Front Passenger Side Trim. A rattling or clattering noise may be heard from the front passenger's side footwell area when driving on rough roads. CAUSE The front passenger's footwell trim makes contact with the side cover of the instrument panel.
