problem #1

Mar 182012

530 6-cyl

  • 62,175 miles
Vehicle sent error message about passenger side airbag failure in the am, complete electrical system failure in the evening when I went to return home. Dealer found water in trunk, below spare tire. Trunk above spare tire was dry, no signs of moisture. We experienced heavy rainfall on 3/17. Electrical system is fried - vehicle is inoperable. Appears to be failed sunroof water seals per BMW service bulletin si B 61 13 06. In my professional opinion as a mechanical engineer, this is a design flaw. Multiple owners' forums concur.
