I was reading about the E61 (Wagon) water in the tire well issue and the root cause of blocked drain tubes and all the mayhem caused by water and electronics (never a good mix).

Has BMW resolved this issue on the F11 or is the poor design of the drain tubes/sunroof/rear hatch still there? Any RKIs out there with F11s taken the time to check their cars to see how BMW has addressed this issue (if at all)?

I sure would be pissed if my shiny new car started frying expensive electronics because the engineers had not yet figured out how to get water to NOT flow into the car.
