BMW 540s had that issue when they 1st arrived. IIRC the intake was down near the RF wheel. It seems there is no water in germany.
...I digress....
I'll add to my comments. I said Sub because of my experience in the bays, but that's pushing 8 years ago now. They were good cars. VW & Mazda ran hot or cold (total crap or great), Mits as well. I hate chryslers, you can keep them. I think the same idiots that thought aluminum home wiring was a good idea wires chryslers on the side. Minis didn't exist, but they look like fun to drive.
