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.
Rattling/Grinding Noises from Center Console. CAUSE The bushing of the blending flap for the rear seat outlet lacks sufficient grease.
