Hey guys I came back from a. 20min freeway drive and right when I got out of the car I noticed a puddle in front and the water leaking from my car. I took a video of it, please let me know if this is bad or what could possibly be leaking so much water.

 

Did you open the hood and check if there are any obvious leaks.

Did you touch [or dab with paper towel] that liquid to confirm it's definitely water.

 

I did not open the hood as I thought the it's leaking from the bottom. Also I am 100% sure it's water... at first it was clear water then i saw some rainbow(ish) colors in the water.

 

Looks like water. What engine do you have? It isn't safe to drive the car. You can overheat the car a ruin the engine. I'm guessing water pump if you have the M54 engine or radiator or split radiator hose or something like that.

 

My first thought is could it be condensation from the A/C? Especially if it's clear water. I wouldn't think it would be so much, but maybe if it was a very humid day?

(BTW, I edited your link to make it live.)

 

It's water from the air conditioning drain. You only need to be concerned if you don't get any water draining.

 

Yes it is an m54. So far no over heating issues but I'll talk to my mechanic when I take it to the shop on Monday

 

Ya I always thought it might be from the ac but I've never seen any water come out this fast so I thought it might be a leak. As a matter of fact I haven't seen anything that bad since. Still getting water leaking from the car, to a point where my apartment complex management is pointing it out, is it common for this much water to leak for these cars? Could this also be the reason why the ac doesn't blow very cold? Atleast compared to the same model year Toyota camry my family owns, the ac in the bimmer seams weak.

 

Looks like water draining from the evaporator to me. Yes it can come out that fast.

 

Is that water leak present even if you don't turn on AC?
