Water in my car's footwell, where is it coming from?
The footwells of my BMW 5 Series (2010 model) fill with water whenever it rains. Any idea what's causing this to heppen?

Most likely to be due to blocked bulkhead vent well draIns which is something you can look for yourself simply by opening the bonnet and, depending how accessible they are, you might even be able to clear the debris yourself.
