Vehicle sent error message about passenger side airbag failure in the am, complete electrical system failure in the evening when I went to return home. Dealer found water in trunk, below spare tire. Trunk above spare tire was dry, no signs of moisture. We experienced heavy rainfall on 3/17. Electrical system is fried - vehicle is inoperable. Appears to be failed sunroof water seals per bmw service bulletin si b 61 13 06. In my professional opinion as a mechanical engineer, this is a design flaw. Multiple owners' forums concur.

2007 bmw 530 I . The light indicating the front passenger air bag is not working seems to be unfixable. Bmw will not give me any assurance that the problem is not of any danger and actually told me not to drive it if I feel it is unsafe. It has been repaired five times yet the light continues to come on.
