BMW f31 330d major interior water leak! What could be causing this, I’ll get to the bottom of it

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video I found a swimming pool in the drivers side of the f31, never had this before and owned the car for over a year, need to get to the bottom of it as this has never happened before!

    I have the same issue mate. Driver side rear footwell in a 2013 1 series. Not the door seals either as mine are bone dry even in heavy rainfall

    I had a F31 330D Xdrive - I kept having damp mats in the front passenger footwell. I replaced the seals around the door thinking it was this but it wasn’t. Anyways I tried the method you did “put water down to see if it comes through” and nothing was obvious? I’m pretty certain it’s the vapour barrier ! It’s intermittent - poor design really whatever it is

    Hi mate, I’m certain it’s the vapour barrier, didn’t take the door cards of tho🤦🏼‍♂️, it’s a new problem so was hoping it would show itself with a good watering😂, I’ll get to the bottom of it and do an update soon💪🏼😎👍🏻

    I've read on another video something about a gasket seal under the bonnet? I am terrible with cars but have the exact same issue, so bad with all this recent rainfall as well haha

    My 330D has had the windows come down of thier own accord when left overnight, happened 3 times in the last 5 years, just random. I do believe their is a way with the keyfob to open the windows remotely and I wonder if it's an accidental kep press?

    Hi mate doubt it was that as the keys were in a box well away from the car, and all windows were up when I picked it up, seats and under rear seat is bone dry 🤷🏼‍♂️

    @@330dfam on my F10 the whole interior in the back was like a paddling pool and it was the bung on the bulkhead . Don’t even know if f30 even have a bung there anyway was just a thought what was weird with my was the passenger footwell carpet was dry but both backs soaked then when I removed carpet ya I realised why there was like a channel that let it run under the carpet straight into the back 😂

    It will be your windscreen. Put a hand inside and one outside and see if there is movement. Just had exact thing in an Audi. The water comes down behind dash and in behind carpet and gets through to the back. Mine was original screen as well. Had the glass taken out sealed and back in and water stopped instantly. Good luck.
