OK then, both of those made zero sense in context

That is sweet! did you just drive in and tell em about it or did you have to wait till it happened and bring the car in while you had the condensation?

I have rock guard film thing installed on my lights so i wonder if they had to replace the whole light assembly.

Doors that hold water.

Doors that hold water should not be a design feature of a $56,000 vehicle. BMW has to develop a fix for this problem. Why do some vehicles has the problem with both doors and some with only one of the doors? Sounds like a build problem.

Maybe it's tied to the fact that you (maybe just me) have to give the rear doors a real slam to get them to close. If I try and close them with a 'normal' push like I do on the fronts they never seam to 'catch' and I have to try again with more effort.

Maybe I just need to work out more....

It's normal. This happens on a lot of cars I've been in. No interior leaks, just some water vapor trapped in between.

Problem?

The cabin is dry, but water in the door jam is an issue??

That would not even register as a blip on my radar screen of "issues"

You would think with the window regulator failure, transmission issues and battery draw..there would be other things to complain about
