electrical failures?
Has anybody else had any electrical issues with their car?
just today, started in the afternoon with park distance control failure, and then a few hours later i notice a flicker in my headlights every now and then, air-conditioning inconsistently blowing, and cruise control failure warnings. at one point the car had a warning come up and say electrical failure something something, slow down carefully and do not continue journey! looking for a little advice before i notify bmw tomorrow

With the car parked and NOT running a good battery should have AT LEAST 12.8 DCvolts. When the car is running... it should be over 13.5(ish) DCvolts. You can also check for AC voltage across the battery (+/-) terminals. You should no more than 1 ACvolts if any. The presence of AC voltage means your alternator is not doing its job. Well actually the brushes(& regulator) inside the Alternator. |

That was probably most likely the cause of the water entry. Your quite lucky they got you covered.

yeah they didn't want to either, but my shop had a relationship with the dealership and certified that when they replaced everything it was in 100% condition
