Body/Trim: Water Leak from under dashboard

[stevepcar]

After several weeks of continuous rain I have just got into my 1995 850 & found that some water has run down from under the dashboard on the passenger side. It is rainwater not coolant. It has a sunroof so could there be a blockage in the drain(s) from that, or maybe the scuttle drains being blocked causing water to find a way into the car? Any advice gratefully accepted.

Both of those are worth checking. I have a 1994 850 with a sunroof. I had problems for years caused by parking on a steep slope (nose down). Completely went away when I parked on the level.

My drive has quite a steep slope & last year when. the car was facing with the rear facing down the slope, I had a leak in the roof at the rear. I need to investigate the sun roof drains first I think, thanks for your suggestion.
