Water in Passenger Floor

[CRuben09]

I've been confronting this issue for the past two weeks. It kinds of bother me.

The whole passenger floor gets soaking wet anytime I use the a/c for half and hour or plus.

My car is a 2011 135i with 28,000 miles built on 10/10.

Has this happen to any of you? What could it be?

Bring that shit into the dealer!!

Omg. Time to go to the dealer. My ac is on ALL the time with no wetness going on.

You have either a plugged drain hose or a broken drain hose. Pull the carpet back and check the hose running from the bottom of the ac unit through the floorboard.

I removed the carpet, and didn't found water underneath that. I believe that the carpet sponge all the water.

I'm taking the car in next week and see where it goes.

I broke two white tabs when removing a side plastic piece. Do you know where can I find a replacement for that?

So I took the car in last Tuesday, and among other things that I brought the car in, I mentioned the SA about my trouble with water in the passenger floor, even though I haven't noticed as much water as before.

Today I received a call from them that they had dismantled all my interior (taking out all the seats and carpet) due to a bad evaporator hose. Even though I didn't noticed that much water than before apparently the thing underneath the carpet was absorbing it. They had to take out the carpet for shampooing and drying, but decided to install a new one since it was apparently messed up. All covered under warranty.

Really strange right?

most likely cause is the drain pug is clogged.

It was a clogged drain from the evaporator that runs above the transmission. They had to release the transmission to work with, not fully removed though. I haven't got my car yet.

In the mean time I got an F30 328i Loaner to play with. BTW this new 328i really sucks. Feels like a typical American car. I owned a E90 before and is a complete different story, the new one really sucks.

Yes it does. The story is the same across the lineup.

Wow! I hope the M235i gets a better treatment. I think that will be my next purchase in the next years if the budget allows it at that time. I believe BMW is saving their driving dynamics only to the M line, and building the regular line-up to the masses likeliness. I feel really disappointed.

M235i is not an M car. Just got a badge. Should have branded it the 235is but hey, if they slap a M badge on it, they can collect "badge tax".

M5 is getting panned across the board, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
