The other day I noticed that the back seat carpet and floor mats on both sides of my wife's 2001 325i were soaked with water. I vacuumed up the water and there was quite a bit, maybe 2-3 quarts. There appears to be a "subfloor" which held most of the water.
I have been unable to figure out the source of the water. I have ruled out an open window or spilled water bottle (neither would explain how the water was on both sides). We drove several hours in a heavy rainstorm, but I could find no visible leaks around the windows, doors or sunroof. Also I cannot see any sign of water on the seats or headliner.
Could someone suggest the source of the water or explain the construction of the car?
