BMW's in floods, WARNING!!!
Discussion
Do not try to drive through flood water in a BMW, some models have the engine air intake low down next to the fog lights, should it suck water up then your engine is SCRAP!
(Check out your local BMW agent and ask him how many they have in with this problem, it's alarming!)
For everyone else, check out where the engine air intake is so that you don't have the same problem.

One vehicle that the dealer mentioned, a lady stopped her car as she entered the water, it wasn't even above the bottom of the tyres, but a vehicle coming the other way made a bow-wave that splashed up against the front of her car, subsequently stopping her engine due to water ingress.
As I've also said, it's an idea for everyone to check just where-abouts the air intake is. I also didn't say that it effected every BMW.
