This happens after it rains.
At the same time pull up on the front lip of the seat.
What i have found is that the water leak is actually from the front door and under the side carpet there is a ledge and the water runs along this ledge and ends up pooling in the rear of the vehicle.
I took it in and the machanic tested t.
Managed to get a bit of the trim off today.
After sitting in the back seat in rain to find the leak it seems that the water is seeping in through the top door seal down around the inside door frame an under the carpet in the rear left corner.
Bmw seats are far easier to remove than most.
Pulled up a corner of the front carpet and managed to pump quite a bit of water out probably a few litres.
I have exactly the same problem with my 2014 f11 except my floor mat was soaked.
Repeat for the other side.
The car is parked on a slight incline so that the driver side is higher than the passenger side.
Water in chassis pours into passenger rear footwell.
Just push back slightly on the front edge of the cushion about 6 in from the door.
There appear to be two major causes for this mine had the more frequent of the two.
You don t want to remove the seat back just the cushion.
The seats are not at all wet just the floor.
I ve since collected it and driven it for a week.
I ve had the car back to the dealer who kept it for 4 days over the weekend and apparently stripped the car back and water tested it twice but couldn t find where the water was coming from.
The floor behind the passenger seat is soaking wet.
I m parked in a level driveway.
Sometimes i do it with my thigh with my knee on the floor but yours is wet.
