BMWs and flooding

[Deendog]

Road near me flooded over the weekend, probably 6-8 inches on duel carriageway. Most cars got through but today I noticed 2 cars seemingly abandoned. One a 12 plate 5 series, other a 15 plate 3 gt. they were located a couple of miles apart. Strangely they both had front number plates missing.
Coincidence or are BMWs particularly prone to flooding?

seems low intake does make modern BMWs particularly prone to flooding.
any ideas on the number plates? I assume the force of the water ripped them off?
just idle curiosity, I have no plans to go wading in my 3 series!
