If your carpet is big time wet..... your in trouble.

They(BMW) used a open cell foam backer that sucks up water like crazy. I have taken every car I have owned over the last 30yrs to the quarter car was and just power washed the carpet and then quickly taken the vacuum to it. Never had any problems before but.......

The foam is 4" thick in places and just holds the water. I had to take all my carpet out and let it sit in the yard for a week to get it to dry out. This is about 2 months after cleaning the carpet!!!! Only good thing was I was putting in a new stereo so it was already getting at least part way taken apart

Got an average of 12.2L/100km on a 470km trip, does that seem ok? I hammered on it a few times (3 times?) til redline in 3rd to pass some slow people and have some fun lol, but other then that I was pretty reserved and used the apex when I could.
