Hi Guys, am new Z Post,as a new owner of 04 2.5 se, have been checking out info about blocked drain holes, has there been a mod? as when i pour water down the right hand side it runs out by the front wheel , ok my drive slopes forward but thought it should still run out underneath by the drain .any thoughts....

i have a 2003 Z4 3.0i.. which i got used.. love it..

anyways to the point.. i saw the post about the drain holes.. so one day while waiting for my friend that was late. i peaked in, and it was blocked on the passenger side.. i could see water inside.. left side was dry..

anyways i ran water down both side and left side was clear while right side was blocked. I figure removing the wheel was too trouble, so i proceed with soapy water mix and compressed air.

i stick in the air compressor long pipe down to the hole and start blasting... created a mess.. water coming from the top, and after 5 sec it cleared and water start coming down the bottom with dirts... so i pour in some soap water and blasted it again.. more dirts came out.. and now water flows smoothly!

thank god the motor is on the left side of the car!
