Condensation
Hi guys... this may only apply to the guys with E93's but I am getting alot of condensation in the rear lights and also damp in the boot where the left panel compartment is for the manual ( I think this may happen when I open the boot when it has rained previously and it drips in). Anyone else experience this??
Flapps??

If I were you, I'd check with Wafik if he had this issue with his original E93... the roof certainly leaked and he got a new M3 out of it!

My E93 used to leak water into the boot area - the dealer had it quite a few times for this issue. In the left side of the boot was a plastic compartment, this used to always have an inch or two of water in it during periods of bad weather. There had been modified roof seals prduced that the dealer fitted but it never cured it. In the end the car went back to the lease company so someone else will have had the issues this winter
Hope you get it sorted and make sure you trust the dealer. My local dealer was pretty crap and introduced all sorts of rattles into the roof every time they messed with it |

If only life were so simple!!! Wafik's old E93 was in the dealer for that long trying to get this problem fixed, they eventually had to replace his car!
There is a balance between how long you let them keep trying for before you just think f*&k it and have the car back again. My E93 would go in for a week at a time and the problem never got fixed. They always claimed they had fixed it (roof shell trims, roof seals, modified drainage pipes, replacement boot seals, the list was endless) but after a few weeks the cubby hole in the boot would fill with water and if I carried any paperwork or literature round in the boot it would always end up very damp. The underside of the bootlid was often covered in condensation and also the in back lights like the OP said. The OP 'may' be lucky and the dealer finds the problem straight away. The weird thing is that I could jet wash the car and the boot would remain dry, but then after some light rain, an inch or so of water could have accumulated - no pattern to it and difficult mto remedy. |
