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.
GROANING NOISE FROM DRIVER'S BACKREST. When the vehicle interior heats up beyond approx. 90 degrees Farenheit.
