“Water accumulates in the trunk/boot of the vehicle causing numerous electronic faults, error codes and states per Bmw this issue significant. Many issues like the ones I've described were recalled to a degree. Now, their 'fixes' are failing and more and more issue emerge with the Bmw e8x frame. I was told per Bmw that these recalls remedy the mistake; therefore, even though I have the same issues the recall covered I'm having the same issues. These issues can happen at any time. Most often when starting the vehicle but on particularly rainy days it can be any time and anywhere.”
