If this is what other people have seen, then no problem, but it did seem like a lot of water! It made quite a splashing sound, which as I say is unusual and never seen before.
If the water is between the plastic door panel and the metal part of the door itself and not out of the drain holes on the seam where excess water is supposed to drain out, then you should need to investigate this, because you may well have a problem. On most cars (I am not 100% sure about the BMW X3), there is a thin plastic vapour lining between plastic door panel the metal door that will need inspecting.
