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.

Noise from speaker grills/ surrounds. There may be interference noises (rattles, squeaks, clicking) from the front or rear speaker grill/surrounds when the audio is on. CAUSE ? Contact between front door panel or speaker grill/surround with the speaker cone. ?
