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.

While driving on an uneven road, a “clicking”sound is heard from the front bow/cowl panelarea of the convertible top.
