how do you get soil and water in the car from rain?

this guy parks his very new M2 and when it rains, water pools in the passenger rear floor and passenger door foot step (sorry don't know the correct term) gets soil/mud stuff on it

anyone has any explanation for this?
BMW says seals are fine after hosing under pressure and blames the mud on him submerging the car

That guy... is all about a show off, so BMW should be correct about him.

Those who aren't of the kind should check these leaf grills :

.

Also faulty sealing inside the door can be at fault and sunroof drainage too.

This guy says his driveway is at a 30* incline. That is insane if true, and likely the car was never designed to be stored at this angle.

Look at 2:34 and some other spots. The car is covered in shit. It probably sat at an angle for months and collected falling debris that clogged drainage channels. There is a lot of dirt on that door sill, where does it come from? I have never seen that on a car that's simply just parked outside, even under trees.
