Guys if it the sunroof why the water did not leak in the centre while find it it's way back? I don't think it is the sunroof.

Do you guys know if the sunroof cassette is covered in the certified series? If not this is a big job because I remember it got done on my 7-series because the roof was pretty noisy.

Okay, so my BMW Stealer fixed the water leaking problem, it was a blockage in the drains by the C-Pillars as some of the members advised and I got dinged for $250.00 labor charge. It's fine that I paid the charge but as soon as I got the car back the moon roof started to make noise sounds when I open or close it and the wind noise got louder than before. I called my BMW stealer and complained about the problem that I never had prior to my service visit, I was asked to bring the car back so they can check it. They had the car for the day then I received a call from the stealer to tell me that the new problem is not related to what they did in the last service and they need to change the seal around the moon roof and it is going to cost ~$350.00. I got upset especially since I did not have this problem before bringing the car to service, I told them not to do anything with it and I got dinged again for a $140 service charge as they claimed they worked on the vehicle for one hour. I pickup the car and this time I got a new noise which I hear all the time when I'm driving on a ruff surface, it is a piece of plastic behind the noon roof that keeps rattling. That being said, I have no idea what to do with the stealer, they told me that all they did to fix the draining problem was to drop the liner from the back. Now what if something got loose when they did that? The rattling noise is driving me crazy especially since my car was pretty quite vehicle. Any advise from you guys would be greatly appreciated. If you have any ideas for me to fix this problem, please share it. Thanks

This exact thing happened to me on my E39. The water channel that runs the length of the car, over the roof, down the side and to the back part of the trunk where it lets out was clogged. Water kept building up and eventually just made it's way into the interior and soaked the rear of the car. They ended up having to remove the roof liner and replacing the channels, where the water is supposed to run off through.
They also replaced all the pillars (A, B and C). After that, it never happened again, but my car was in the dealership for over a week. It sucked. Sorry to hear this.

This just happend to me today 
Same deal: touchless carwash... I'm sitting there while it does its thing when I hear water dripping in the back. I turn around and sure enough water is dripping all over the seats from around both rear doors
What annoys me most is that I now have two water stains around the C-pillars.
In the six months I've owned this car I've gone to the touchless wash many times without any problems. Of course, over the past 15 years I've owned two Hondas, a GMC, and an Izuzu, and none of them ever leaked! I expected the same problem-free trips to the carwash with my $40K BMW.
I guess I'm sorta glad I'm not the only one to have had this problem. Back to the dealer for me... fortunately I'm still under warranty.
If anyone knows any quick fixes for this or preventative maintenance on the door seals, I'd love to know about it.

So yesterday I did not feel like washing the car by hand so I went through a touch-less car wash, as soon as the machine reached the back of the E60 my kids where screaming Daddy water in getting in the car. I look behind me and water was dripping like crazy from both sides of the back doors and I can see the water traveling so quick into the back and side of the roof material, more on the left side (please see picture for exact location). The roof is already dry but I'm not sure where the water went now. I noticed some went in the seatbelt box on the back seat and some went between the back seat and the door trim.
The $64,000 dollar question; how did the frickin water get into the car? The only thing that I remember is back in May BMW changed the door trims because I was complaining about the noise from the doors, that being said I washed my car in a touch-less car wash after the replacement of the door trims many times with no problems until yesterday. Could this be the problem? Could the water go through the back glass side trim? I will take the car to the stealer tomorrow if they can see me, but the other question is this stuff covered under the extended warranty (Certified Series)?
If you guys have any information please let me know. I tell my two year old daughter was freaking out when she saw the water dripping....
