So, the rain runs down the side of the car, and must pool / collect in the seal, when the door is opened, that water disperses into the car.
On my E90, it has a drainage channel on the roof, but it also has another around the door, as well as the rubber seal.
Photos below to show what I mean:-
F20 - Nothing to disperse the water around the door
E90 - Channel around the door, before the rubber seal

Exactly what I said earlier in the post, but pictures say a thousand words
I would agree it's just a bad design, but one I have got use to having experienced it with other brands. My old Ford Kuga use to drop a lot of rain water in to the boot when opened!
