The contact owns a 2019 BMW X3. The contact stated that after a rainstorm, water would leak through the telematics control unit (tcu) located on the roof at the rear of the vehicle.

On January 23, 2012 after a whole weekend of downpour rain, I get into my X3 to notice water on the center console (near my cup holder) I look up and notice the water is dripping from the top middle console (where the moon roof control, air bag button and sos call button are located). Not only was it dripping water but the whole area around but it was soaked and wet. After reading about this on-line that other people have and are experiencing this water leak problem, I realized I need to check the other areas people mention they had water leaks. That's when I checked the floor on both the driver and passenger side and to my surprise the driver side had more water than what I could ever imagine, it was drenched. So now that I have all this water in my car it looks like it has caused some problems with my sos button. Without me touching it, it tries to calls and doesn't get a connection. It reads BMW phone inactive and it keeps making a noise that comes through the speakers. I've also noticed that light from the middle top console is not working correctly. I am sure I'm going to end up with a lot more electrical, lighting problems than just these few. This is a problem that needs to be looked into and fix by BMW.

Water leaving in the rear passenger side.

Interior door rattles/creaks from seals/door sill. Extremely noisy when driving. Sounds as if the car is going to cave in or as one person said, sounds like your driving a wood car. I looked up several sites, it appears it is an on-going issue. I just received the car June 28,08. Please assist if there is a fix.

Sidestand for motorcycle is bent so far that you can't get the bike off of the stand it leans over so far. It has been like this from the day I bought it.
