Vehicle has excessive condensation in driver headlight. Garage kept only. Problem discovered because of parking vehicle outside on driveway while the garage hosted moving boxes. This was the only time this vehicle has spent the night outside.
The front headlight enclosure repeatedly fogs because moisture gets inside. It has just happened again to us. This has been widely reported by BMW owners and is a significant safety issue that BMW has not addressed. In the interest of public safety BMW should recall and replace whatever defective parts cause the problem.
The auto-dimming feature of the digital instrument panel on 2020 BMW X5 models is poorly implemented, and under variable lighting conditions (cloudy, snowy, sunrise, sunset), it dims at inappropriate times, such as when driving toward the sun at sunrise or sunset. This makes the display extremely difficult to read and unsafe. The auto-dimming feature for the instrument panel is only appropriate under night-driving conditions.
