530

  • 54,500 miles
I own a 2007 BMW 530I. Water can get below the trunk of the vehicle where a rdc modular is located and cause the rdc to fail. This rdc failure in turn can cause your electrical system to fail. This happened to me and as of today, BMW only replaced the rdc, on my dime of course even though I have a cpo warranty. Water can come from clogged drains at the sunroof and other places. BMW knows of this issue and doesn't want to fix this issue. It appears to be a design flaw. After reviewing BMW forums, this appears to be an issue with many people.
