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.

PANORAMIC SUNROOF DOES NOT FUNCTION OR CAUSES NOISE DURING OPERATION: The panoramic sunroof may not be functioning, or may be causing noises during operation from the area of the roof function center (FZD).
