The drain that's located behind the door panel is the culprit. It was a common issue on e90s as well.
I have a post with a video where I commented it somewhere … Water leak-hopefully fixed https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1643300

This is a common issue with BMW's period. It's called a vapor barrier and over time, the seal just disintegrates which allows water in.

Thanks for the replies, but again I need to state that IT IS NOT COMING IN THROUGH THE DOOR. When I pour water into the driver side drain (corner of windshield), the water somehow gets through the firewall and onto the driver side floor.

I experienced a very wet passenger side floor after my regular car wash installed a brand new, very high-powered car washing system.
I just want to know from WHERE the water entered!! |

There are no windshield "seals" on these cars, just cowl and decorative trim. The windshield is sealed to the frame with an adhesive when it is installed. That is what makes it "water tight".

Just like to open this topic again as I too am having the same issue with my 2013 F30.
Soaking wet drivers side rear footwell, huge puddle of water in the footwell, I have a UK car so this is the right hand side of the car. It’s been raining for the past 3 days continuously so I have been sponging out the water from the footwell for the past 3 days. It’s been raining for the past hour, I’ve just went out and checked and there is a puddle of water yet again. I’m getting really frustrated with this now. Does anyone know what the first course of action would be? Someone mentioned seals or water vapour inside the rear door. Do I really need to take the door card off to try and solve this issue? |

As a bit of an amateur on these things, is the rear door card easy to remove?
