[QUOTE="kendogg, post: 8528010, member: 573942"] Then consider yourself extremely lucky. There's a number of service bulletins on the issue from BMW. A friend who was a dealer tech when these cars were new has told me about the massive amount of time he'd spent building rain gutters inside the doors to keep water from entering the car to keep a car from coming back to the dealer. I've repaired a number of these that have flooded the floorboards and rusted out the fuse panel thats under the carpet in the pass footwell. They leak more from the rear doors than the fronts, but it's still not an issue I'm willing to entertain. Hell, I bought this one for $700 precisely because that under-carpet fuse panel was ruined and nothing worked, some of the wires were rusted right off it. I'll be damned if I'm going to let it happen again, it's a beautiful car. And Trumpet wasn't offering a solution - if he were, he didn't read my OP. [/QUOTE]
