This “leak” is known issue… I have a ‘21 X4, and if it’s going to rain when we are out and about, we take the wife’s Cayenne that only has the pano roof (no sunroof or shark fin)…. I’m only keeping this car for another year or so, so I don’t want to risk this sort of leak. I already had a warning light once that seems to point to this leak…. So now I’m super careful when I wash the car and only gently spray off the area around the shark fin. I know my sunroof drains are fine because the car is garagd both at home and at work. I don’t worry about driving in the rain because the water is more or less “moving” off the car except at lights.
Sucks too… kind of a blemish on an otherwise fantastic car.
Post Edit: My car is now out of warranty (as of a few days ago). I opted not to get an extended warranty because of the short amount of time I plan on keeping it; it wasn't worth the money invested IMO. The only major repairs I'm on the lookout for are the oil housing failure and a possible coolant leak from somewhere (a lot of plastic pieces). Other than those, I don't expect too much, especially since (as I stated) my car is garaged almost 100% of the time (i.e. not baking in the Texas summer sun nor getting rained on over and over again).
