After some heavy rain, I noticed some water in the passenger floor right by the door. I also noticed a "stream" down into the floor from the door seal. I checked the usual problems (windshield seal, sunroof, moisture barrier) and they didn't seem to be the problem. It seems as if the outer door seal (the one that closes up against the trim/guttering isn't making full contact with the gutters. I assumed the seals would catch the water entering the door this way but a stream of water is visible down and around the seal and down the door frame (on the felt liner) and into the floorboard. Does anyone have any experience with a leak such as this?

I can post pictures later.

Thanks

I don't know if it applies to bmws but wet carpet was found in our lexus ( passenger side) and chevy suburban ( drive and passenger) in both cases the cause was clogged AC drain tube. Hope it helps.

Thanks! I finally figured it out today. Turns out it was the usual suspect. The O-ring style gasket for the cabin air filter came out and was pinched, allowing water to come in. Somewhere along the way, the water was reverted to the door frame and into the floor board, making it seem that it was a door seal.

I have the exact same problem. I'll be sure to check the seal.
