My 2001 740il, sits out in the elements, and I never had a problem till I drove in pouring rain for 3 days. 5 days later ,the gps screen flickers and shakes but wont come on and the radio cuts off and on. I checked the fuses and relays under the hood and no water in there.
Any ideas? I took the trunk liner off left 1/4 pnl and no water was on the plugs so i have a big fan drying that stuff over nite.

ive seen problems where the relays actually fill up with water and rust everything out on the inside, now, i doubt this is what happened in your case, but this has happened to me... you might follow your wiring harness and see if any of the grounds are corroded over...
