Water stuck and sloshing about

Post by r.a » Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:35 am

Just bought a Z4 project car please refer here to background: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=70948

Every time the car brakes you can here the water sloshing around in the car. Having had a look around the same symptoms and diagnosis seem to be explained in this video:

BMW: Water In BMW Sloshing Around While Driving B…: http://youtu.be/Kx7XJ1U1sJc

However its not made clear where the drains are actually located, can someone please explain where ALL of the drains are that need unblocking and how to unblock, have had a look around on forums but the pics linked to the threads are down.

Thanks for your help guys!

The drains he drilled a hole into are the plastic jacking points on the side of the car.

I think in the centre of the jacking point the water should drain out of it.

The other drain holes are in the rear wheel wells of the car and they drain the water out from round the roof motor and the water that comes inside from the roof.
