2 months old 335xi...leaking window...
my 335xi is just 2 months old..
I was wash my car last night by using a pressure washer and my wife found some water around the speaker beside the side mirror....(passenger side window) I know this will come sometime....but NOT WITHIN 2 MONTHS~~~~ I am too lazy to go back to dealer... I will wait for my first service and complain about this stupid leaking window trim....

The seal is probably fine, you just pushed it away and made it unseal with the pressure washer. The coupes have frameless windows, the high pressure water stream likely forced the gasket back from the window and caused the leak that will never happen under normal circumstances.

I think (am pretty sure) the manual says this may happen if using a pressure washer... A bit too lazy to check the manual but I am pretty sure about this.

also, triple check to make sure the window is all the way up. This happened to me once in my old WRX (also frameless windows) and I freaked out for a minute but then realized the window was a tiny bit open
