My wife drives the X5 (along w/ my old 545!) and she has recently has problems with leaks in the tailgate area. Anyone experience this? Car is at a BMW approved bodyshop right now having the issue corrected.

Service dept indicates they've seen it before and it is caused by a bad weld in the tailgate. Sounded like a reasonable explanation.

By the way, great forum. Got directed here from my usual home over on E60.net!
