Did you check the battery compartment? possible its flooded...
I just removed the panel that covers the battery compartment and its not flooded and there are no signs of water ever being in there. I'm going to check the voltage and try charging it overnight. Here's a picture of my screen.

I just went through my car again and a new message came up. Also I took everyones advise and checked to see if there was water anywhere else and I found it!!. I never go in the back seat and the floor mat and carpet on the passenger side is drenched and under the passenger seat is damp..
I'm freaking out!!! I'm going to do a search for the drains to see where they are.. If anyone see's this and knows where i can find them please let me know.
In the mean time I'm going to see if I can get the car flat bedded to BMW.

*UPDATE* Ok so my dad took out by back seat and my front passenger seat and we found 1 1/2 inches of water under the carpet from back to front of the car. We removed the carpet and checked the drain holes and all are clean throughout the car. I called my insurance company and told them what happened they said I am covered to file a claim. The rep explained that I have to pay my deduct. of $500 and Geico will cover the rest. Thank G*D!!.. So they are flat bedding my car on thursday ( the earliest they said so we pushed my car into the garage) to BMW for repairs. The adjuster will be at BMW on Friday.
I still cant believe this happened to such an expensive car rain water should not be able to get any where near the inside of it. I'm actually looking forward to hear my SA tell me how the water got in since all the drains were clean. I even took pictures of all the damage and the control messages.
Anyway thank you everyone for your advise and thanks C for recommending your guy at Habberstad ( I used them for my two previous cars). My service has always been done with Hassle on this car so I'm just going to have it brought there since its closer to my house and I already had other repairs done by them.
I'll keep everyone update since I have heard other have had the same problem.

*Update*
My car was flat bedded this morning instead of thursday as first indicated by Geico. I just got back from BMW and they told me judging on what I've describe the cars repairs will take anywhere from 2 -3 days to fix. Great I'm thinking. The new SA (b/c mine was out sick) I got then goes on to tell me that even though the car can get fixed within 2 -3 days I wont get my car back from them until Geico's check clears which is another 10 business days. I have never dealt with insurance claims but does that sound right? I called Geico to see when they can get someone over to BMW so they said in around 5 business days. So now I'm looking at tuesday of next week before any repairs start or anyone looks at it. So it looks like I wont get by car back until July 14 as per all I spoke with.
Doesn't this all seem to LONG??? Has any one dealt with the same issues with BMW and insurance checks clearing???
