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.

RATTLE NOISE FROM FRONT OF PANORAMIC ROOF WHILE DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS: While driving over rough roads, a rattle noise may develop from the front corner areas of the panoramic sunroof.
