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 Gets Stuck or Moves in Small Steps. During opening or closing the sunroof, one or more of the following situations may occur: 1. The sunroof becomes stuck 2. One-touch open and close no longer works 3. The sunroof moves in small steps.
