        Dougie - front carpet passenger is typically the elephant trunk. Driver side is commonly clogged grills below windshield.

              Ok … they are the air intake pleniums that are on your cowl right below your windshield. leaves and junk gets in there and traps them causing a leak.

                  Where do they drain out of in there? I see no actual drains in there.

                    Does anyone have a pic of what its supposed to look like inside the grills?
                    Mine looks to have seam sealer that has dried and cracked....or some shit like it. If i pour water in there on the drivers side, i get water running into the drivers footwell from the seam area were the firewall meets the side of the car.
                    Is the seam sealer the issue?


                    The passenger side looks smooth and intact.

                      that is probably whats wrong with mine because only the drivers side footwell gets wet. could you be more specific on were this seam is? is it under the grill thing? or in the engine bay?

                        Under the grill, by the wiper linkage.

                          I have water pooling in the jack well of my car. I have no sunroof and I checked the trunk seals and replaced both tail-light gaskets. The bottom of the well looks like it has some kind of silicon sealant, but no vent hole on the bottom. Any thoughts?

                            what about passenger side leak when sunroof tubes are cleaned and elephant trunk removed?

                              update

                              ac heater core has 2 metal pipes that run through the firewall on the driver side beside the brake booster.
                              i traced a water leak when it rained to this area.

                              remove the old seal and remember which orientation it goes it, kind of a weird shape.

                              new gasket, ordered through Irvine Bmw dealer, order was sent out to Germany for the part to be special ordered.

                              new vs old

                                I traced down a 4th leak.
