What owners report

2025-07-20, Air Bags
I discovered suspected non-OEM electrical components, including a twisted white wire pair and burgundy connector, routed through the passenger-side fuse box and terminating at a footwell speaker or unknown transducer. RF scans (TinySA) showed consistent emissions at 93–106.6 MHz in the cabin, even with the engine off. Symptoms include localized EM exposure targeting genital area, neurological disorientation, and floorboard vibration. Vehicle appears modified to emit or transmit RF signals through concealed hardware. No such system is listed in OEM wiring diagrams. BMW dealership and manufacturer have been contacted to confirm authenticity. Components do not match any standard E92/E93 harn
