    1990 325ic -- water drain locations?

    i have a chronic problem with the rear passenger side footwell being soaked during the rainy season. its already destroyed the carpet.

    it doesn't seem to be a roof seal leak, but i understand that there are 2 drains per side in the rocker panel. the car has been repainted and i suspect these were blocked.

    can anyone provide a photo or diagram showing where these drains are located?

    thank you,

    brian

      Same thing here. I need to get this fixed before I find more carpet. I thought there was a thread somewhere on this, but I don't have a clue where it is.

          check your boot lid...could be coming from inside there and into the cabin from behind the seats maybe?

          i know my boot lid leaks and I have water in there after a drive in the rain

            Sounds like the elephant drain. It's on the passenger side of the engine bay. Just google image it. "elephant drain e30"
