I moved all the electronics in the spare-tire-thingy to the area near the driver's side rear taillights. There is a SIB on the relocation. Not a biggie. Take out the trim and there is room to put the stuff. Wire tie it up nicely.

i had the same issue and it destroyed all the electrical components in the wheel well.
(brilliant engineering BMW). After a few calls to BMWUSA they paid for 50% of the repair and
they did move the components and insulated the wire harness. Never had another problem with water in the truck since.
