This is my second complaint of problems caused by water intrusion of my 2007 BMW X-5. first complaint was the passenger-side floorboard carpet getting wet. Now, I have a problem with electrical components getting wet. My satellite radio receiver was destroyed by moisture. I would like to know if this problem with water intrusion is truly repairable or should BMW recall these vehicles.
Complaint is of a 2007 BMW X-5(purchased 6 months ago). I have experienced the carpet in the floor board(passenger side) gets wet. Since has discovered that other owners have experienced the same problem. BMW issued a service bulletin on Nov. 2008. Would like for this to become a recall issue.
