What's Being Addressed: BMW i5 Sunroof Drain Hose Issue

BMW AG has identified a quality concern affecting certain 2024-2026 BMW 5 Series Sedan (G60) and i5 Sedan (G60) vehicles produced between October 9, 2023, and October 21, 2025. This issue, detailed in Service Information Bulletin (SIB) 54 06 25, involves the front left water drain hose for the slide/tilt sunroof not being properly connected. This bulletin, Revision 1, supersedes the previous SI B54 06 25 dated December 2025.

Symptoms

If the front left sunroof water drain hose is disconnected, owners may experience:

• Water ingress into the vehicle's interior.
• Dampness or visible water damage in the area of the A-pillar.
• Damage to the floor, trim, and other components due to water exposure.

Cause of the Problem

The root cause of this issue is a possibly unconnected front left water drain hose for the sunroof. When this hose is not properly attached, water that enters the sunroof assembly cannot drain effectively. Instead, it can leak into the vehicle's cabin, specifically via the A-pillar, leading to the damage described above. BMW notes that the right front drain hose is not affected by this particular issue.

Repair Procedure Summary

The repair for the BMW i5 sunroof drain hose issue involves two main steps:

1. Re-attachment: Technicians will re-attach the disconnected front left water drain hose for the sunroof. This requires lowering the headlining as described in repair procedure REP 5144925.
2. Damage Inspection and Renewal: After re-attaching the hose, the vehicle's interior will be thoroughly checked for any signs of water ingress or damage. Any components found to be water-damaged, such as floor trim, will be renewed.

This repair is classified as "Mobile Friendly" and "Remote Software Upgrade (RSU) Friendly," indicating it can be performed efficiently.

Required Tools or Parts

For vehicles requiring replacement of water-damaged components, specific front floor trim covers may be needed.
