The drainage holes are located at the bottom of the door panel, usually with 1-2 holes. Below is an introduction to the BMW Mini: Brand: The BMW Mini is a British microcar brand, now under the BMW Group.

The drainage holes on the BMW 3 Series doors are actually quite easy to locate. Just crouch down and inspect the bottom edge of the door—you'll typically find a small hole or narrow slit near the lowest part of the door, close to the side. This design is quite clever, as it allows rainwater flowing down the door to drain out promptly, preventing water accumulation that could damage the wiring inside the door or cause rust. I once experienced a door leakage issue because these holes were clogged with mud and leaves. To clear them, simply use a thin wire to gently poke through the blockage—no need for a special trip to the repair shop. Developing a habit of regular inspections is crucial, especially before and after the rainy season. Unusual noises or a heavy feeling when opening the door might signal water accumulation, which should be addressed immediately.

What Causes Brake Noise When the Car is Moving?

Reasons for brake noise when the car is moving: 1. Metal hard spots on the brake pads; 2. Severe wear of the brake disc; 3. Foreign objects between the brake disc and brake pads; 4. Noise after prolonged parking. If the brake pads make noise, and the noise is not very loud, it may indicate small foreign objects like stones on the brake pads, and the noise will gradually disappear after driving for a while. When driving, sudden braking can cause noticeable and harsh noise, which can damage the brake pads and discs. Try to minimize sudden braking and avoid frequent braking, as it increases fuel consumption. Under safe conditions, drive as smoothly as possible. When going downhill for a long distance, use engine braking to slow down the car instead of continuously applying the brakes, which can cause the brake pads to overheat and affect braking performance.
