got any sun/moonroof ?
if yes, most probably the drain exit is plugged... Usually there are 4 exits/holes

Yeah Ive got a sunroof.
where are these exits?
Thank you so much
ROB

open the sunroof, and then look in the front of them, can't miss them

i had a similar problem with my E30. Does the 735 have the 'elephant pipe' in the engine bay?? it is located on the fire wall near the rocker cover on the right hand side, looks like an elephant trunk, hence the nickname. mine was blocked and causing water to come in. very easy to fix.
good luck
