my BM has a valve in the back box that only open up when warm so will drip on one side more than the other. It is supposed to make the car a bit quieter on start up and cold emissions a touch better. First time FFRR owner |

I'm told it's air con - it is water so it makes sense Geoff |

I thought the air-con condensate came from the centre of the car, not the exhaust tip?

Thanks for replies. Each time I’ve noticed the drips I’ve been running the aircon…..maybe somebody can clarify? I’ll try it tomorrow without running the aircon and report back….. |

Took vehicle for a 10 mile run with aircon off and no drips on return…..weather much colder today than it has been recently. |

You get condensation build up in an exhaust as it warms up, on fattys the huge exhaust can produce enough for it to drip out the tailpipe, give it a rev and it will throw more out...

If you have the rear (auxiliary) climate control then the heat/cool/blower unit for this is fitted in the LH rear of the vehicle. So yes if you have this fitted then it is normal to have water dripping from that corner in warm/humid weather, and yes there is another drain somewhere under the vehicle for the main heater so expect two wet patches where the car has been parked.

Thanks for information. Yes, it has rear climate control as part of the ‘Business Class’ set up. Very helpful👍 |
