BMW 6 series 2008 | water leak part 1 of 3

Video transcript

0:00 So first things first, we're going to go to the passenger door. So what I've done is I've just put a little bit of a lever tool behind there, just so we can simulate that it's raining. So we're going to put a bit of water down on the outside. Now it's supposed to be emptying out through the bottom of the door, which it is doing, but if we look closely we can see that it's leaking all the way down from the door membrane. I have checked in the carpets on the passenger side; there doesn't seem to be any wetness under the carpets.

0:30 Coming round to the driver's side now. So we're just gonna simulate the same thing on the driver's door. So we've put some water down on the outside of the window. And if we just quickly look, we can see the exemption out through the bottom of the door, but also we have a leak coming through the door membrane.

0:48 So that's both door on the front leaking.

We found multiple points where water could be getting in on this BMW. In this video, we show that both door membranes are leaking, although this doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

We will fix the leaky door membranes anyway, as it really shouldn't do this and could lead to problems later... 

Solution: Replace both door membranes and treat the rubbers around the door.

More leak issues are shown Part 2 and Part 3 of this video.

Question: "This is the second BMW I have had with leaks. Is leaking a common problem on BMWs?"

Answer: It's a common issue on all cars. Drainage holes get blocked, rubber and plastic parts perish or harden, clips and grommets come loose. To us, it seems worse on some cars than others, but it can be hard to tell. Do we see more leaks on one car because those cars have lots of leaks, or because there are lots of those cars? Having said that, there are definitely some known problems we keep seeing, but BMW wouldn't be in the top ten of leaky cars.
