Check to make sure it's water and not anti freeze, if it is then the heater box is leaking...If it is just water then you have a bad seal around the windshield or the door seal is leaking..Check the seal around the door to see if it's torn or come loose. Maybe get in the car and have someone squirt the door area and windshield, with a garden hose, maybe you can see where it's come in at.

Do you have a sun roof ? if yes make sure water is not leaking from there, BUT if you don't have a sunroof then have a look under the car's body, there might be some rusty area of a hole under the body letting the water from the road to get in.

SOURCE: Has anyone had water soaked passenger side floor

Hi,

This is of concern.....especially if no recent rain.

Your vehicle is covered by warranty and should be checked by your local BMW dealership.

If there has not been any rain, but your floor is wet....it's possible your heater radiator core (radiator) under the dash, is leaking.

Seek immediate attention.

Cheers,

Water or winsheild wiper fluid on the drivers side floor

Possible that there is a leak from the hose to the washer or from the wiper washer/washer fittings. Since this is something that can be traced it is best to look from under the driver side dash and side panel to see the point of leak which can be plugged by refitting or replacing of the hose from the water tank to the nozzle.

BMW '98 740i: When it rains water puddles on drivers floor. What are possible causes and fixes? Are there any related videos?

The sunroof drain hole on the drivers side could possibly be clogged up, allowing water to overflow and drain down the inside of the windshield post and onto the drivers side floor. Have that checked first since it's quite easy to see, with the sunroof opened all the way.
