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.
GROANING NOISE FROM B-PILLAR What's new: Part number correction . While driving, especially on rough surfaces, a groaning noise is heard from the area of the upper B-pillar. Incorrect gap on the B-pillar trim between the front and rear door, on both the driver's and passenger's sides.
