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 NOISE FROM FRONT SEAT CUSHION: A creaking noise, as demonstrated in video https://tinyurl.com/V520118 , can be heard from the vicinity of the front seat cushion (Foam padding).
