Sorry wrong thread. Moderator please put into e39 M5. Duh.
Looking around in the passenger footwell the other day, I noticed some spots just below the bottom of the glovebox door, and just above the recirc air intake. It almost looks like water drops have been accumulating there and leaving some calcium or lime residue behind when they dry. Or maybe there's some kind of glue residue coming out of the glovebox. It's fairly hard to scrape them off - like what you'd expect calcium to do.
Kind of hard to see in the picture, but toward the middle of the picture there are 3 dime size ovals, 3 smaller ones, and one rectangular spot on the right. The gap is the recirc intake, and the rounded surface above it is the bottom of the glovebox door.
Anybody else notice this in their cars?
