Default water drips under the car and the AC is OFF

Hi,
i am driving an E60 530i 2003 new shape.
after driving around 17 km from home to work [AC off] [fan was ON for 5 min] i have noticed a bit of water drips under the car, i asked one of my friends here who owns a bmw and he said the water is from the AC because it does not smell and it has no colour, but because its a bit more water than normal and my AC was off i started to worry, also i just got my car fully serviced yesterday !! any ideas guys?

Thanks

If it isn't condensation from the AC compressor it could be coolant. One way to verify is to add some dye to the coolant and see if it shows up in the leak.
