my 2001 300M is taking on water when it rains. I took it to the dealer and they suggested a new drivers side door gasket. Well, 6 months later, when it starts raining (california) I have about a good 1/4 inch puddle of water on the floorboards.
The odd thing is, it's only wet in the middle and not on the sides where it might come from the doorjam. I thought that maybe there is a defect underneath the car which is allowing water to get in when it's driven, but, I get water appearing on the floorboard, when the car is stationary too, so I am baffled.
So far it's only happening on the drivers side, no where else. any suggestions?

Done that. At the time it appeared to be coming in very slowly from the door gasket. So I took it in to the dealer and they replaced the gasket for around 200.
However, this rainy season(6-8 months removed from the repair) it is still leaking, this time I don't know where it's coming from. I haven't gone through the hasssle of tearing the carpet back again to see if it's still coming in the same place.
I would doubt it, since the rear driverside carpet is wet as well as the front.
