Well me cheep e30 may not be so cheep.
Just giving it a clean inside to day found that the rear foot well are damp and under the back seet is also wet. :-x :cry: . So I have a e23 with damp and now a e30 with it to :cry: .
The other bad bit witch I have seen tonight is I opened up the sun roof and sadly there is some rust holes :-x
So were is the water getting in to the back and how ease dues the head lining come down so I can plate up the holes in the sunroof :?
Thanks very much :D

Holes in the sunroof ridges are for the water to drain away, dont weld them up, get a very long hard wire and clean those holes out!

sounds like you could be lucky with blocked drain holes like Steve said, but another consequence of this is that they rot away, causing water to leak from the roof. Is the roof lining wet? Wet rear seat is also ai sign of holes in the rear inner arches I think...
