I am having some issues with damp carpet foam in my rear driver's side footwell, so I checked the drainage FAQs I could find:

www.r3vlimited.com/boa...hp?t=89648
www.r3vlimited.com/boa...p?t=123262

I found the front drainage holes on my E30 M40, just near the front factory jack mounts:


And this is the crap that came out:


This was from the side where the rear seat floorboard is damp.
The same holes on the other side of the car didnt have any dirt/leaves at all. I'm hoping this fixes the problem, otherwise, does anyone else know of other drainage holes at the rear? I couldn't find those.

Eh sorry dude, didn't notice got this late reply.

I did fix the problem, but it wasn't the drainage holes.

My rear door, the vapor barrier was not sealed properly, so when it rain or I wash car, water that flows into the door will leak into the cabin. After resealing, then no more issue. Smile

I am referring to the transparent plastic barrier behind the door card. It is sealed with some black silicon adhesive usually.
