However, I was wondering why lots of water got into the compartment. After taking a close look, I found the fuel door not completely flush with the body, mainly the lower portion. As my x3 is black, it is not very noticeable. but I think this was where the water went in.

Has anyone experienced the same issue? Is it worthwhile to take it to the dealer? Thanks,
In this weather the drain tubes for sun roofs and gas caps etc freeze up so water cant escape fast enough and freezes, ive had enough cold...
