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 NOISE WHILE DRIVING. Rattling noise from the vicinity of the overhead control center while driving, especially on rough roads. CAUSE Cowl-retaining rivet interfering with slide/tilt sunroof motor. Replace motor, if necessary.
