Consumer Description

ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT IS DEFECTIVELY INSTALLED. WATER FROM RAIN AND CARWASHING CAN EASILY GET INTO THE SAID UNIT BOX CAUSING CIRCUIT SHORTS TO THE SAID EQUIPMENT. EQUIPMENT IS $1,200.00 TO REPLACED. BMW DEALERS KNOW THE PROBLEM AND CAN EASILY MODIFY THE INSTALLATION TO PROTECT IT FROM WATER DAMAGE AND I WONDER WHY IT WAS NOT PART OF THEIR RECALL. I CALLED PARTS DEPT.'S PERSONNEL OF BMW DEALERS AND I FOUND OUT THIS KIND OF DAMAGE IS SO COMMON.
