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.

CLICKING NOISE FROM ROLLER SUNSHADE: When driving over rough road surfaces a clicking noise is present from the area of the roller sunshade of the sunroof. Insufficient grease for the roller sunshade mechanism allowing excessive movement inside the sunshade guide rail.
