Something isn-€™t right with how water travels to and gets into the Front Headlights of these cars weaking the seals and damaging the multiple modules of these headlights my front passenger headlight out of nowhere started forming condensation in the headlight which shorted almost every module in there it barely works now. I have a coworker with with same exact model and year as mines and he said he just had to have his replaced too. My repair guy says he replaces 2 a week on BMW-€™s at his shop. Something is defective either with the actual headlights or seals or with how the vehicle is designed to allow water to flow down straight to the headlights through the slits in the hood of the car. Now my car will not pass inspection until I pay $4k to replace the headlight. BMW needs to recall these headlights or fix the trajectory issue or the seal or something I should not be responsible for this cost entirely. Thank you
headlights faulty module no longer sealed and taking water water making all components in the headlights malfunction to repair this issue costing me $2,800 for ONE HEADLIGHT
Condensation in headlights, common in the vehicle with now fix. Water seeps through and destroys electronics, including leveling, adjusting, and turn signals. Each time it rains it becomes worse and makes visibility difficult. When the vehicle was bought it was stated to the sales department and was told it is no issue. Seen many other 5 series with same issue.
