I think it's the drain for the fuel filler- it routes rainwater down away from the side of the car and out the bottom. The plastic tee or block at the bottom could be all plugged up with dirt.
I have seem one case with a 740 where something in this area rusted through or got a hole in it, and put large amounts of water in the gas tank!!! Really weird problem.
Anyway make sure the drains are cleared out at the bottom, and also make sure that the sunroof drains flow clearly. You can do this with a cup of water applied at the edges of the trough around the open sunroof- it should immediately run out by the fender on each corner of the car.
