Little question for someone out there I did a search but couldn't find it 
I've noticed if I've had my aircon on for a bit them put the car to bed so to speak in the garage I notice a little pool of water dripping from the middle under the car. It only drips for about 5 mins then stops, if I dont have the aircon on and put the car to bed there isn't any dripping so I take it it's coming from the Aircon rad as it gets cold and forms condensation.
But is it surposed to drip onto the floor I'm not sure if it's done it before or not or has a pipe come off or something?

Your AC at home creates the same puddles just it has some plumbing to dump them into your waste lines at home.

Quite unusual in the UK, but a growth is rumoured due to our outstanding 1 week of good weather...

Where else would the condensation go - unless your car is connected to the drains?

My Ride: F11 520d white, auto, professional sat-nav with internet, variable damper control, sports steering wheel, extended lighting, retractable tow bar, wing mirrors with dimming & folding, full electric seats with memory & lumber adjustment, etc.
So July is past and hey presto its officially the hottest July since records began in the UK.
The good thing was the best place to be was inside your e60 because aircon at home here is for the rich & famous (well nearly).
the e60 became a santuary to add to its other qualities
