Has anyone experienced similar?

Car was supplied brand new last September so it seems odd that there's water in the back lights. I noticed it a week ago but it's getting worse now. They may dry out but I'm worried about long term corrosion issues if it keeps happening.


It's occuring in both rear lights so there must be a leak/gap letting it in somewhere.

Cheers!

I had mine in last week for this, pictures taken and sent off to BMW warranty authorisation.

Seems to be quite a few occurrences of it on the BabyBMW forums.

Bit late back with this. Condensation is still there, doesn't look to be getting any better and possibly a little bit more appearing now.

Cars booked in for the start of May for them to have a look at it and see where we go from there.

Bit of an update for anyone else that may encounter this problem.

Car went into Sytner today and had 2 new rear lights fitted. They had already ordered them as the service guy mentioned they had seen it a few times.

All sorted.
