Check behind both the taillights behind the removable trim panels.

Check to see if any of interior carpet is damp or wet.

Check behind the glove box.

Check down by the driver's feet behind the trim piece in front of the door.

Check the DDE box.

Check these places for water or signs of wetted components or areas.

Also check and clean out your sunroof drains.

"put silicone on it"

Do you really think BMW builds cars that rely on a 'bead of silicone' to prevent water intrusion?

so it was good for a week and the nightmare is back again. im guessing the water intrusion is in the engine area now. when you drive around for a while after the engine gets hot enough some of the lights dissapear and the problem seems to go away.

No, BMW builds cars with kinked sunroof drains that cause water intrusion, lol
