Hmm...

Reading this makes me wonder about how my X3 is doing.

San Francisco once had really strong rains, and at the end of Sunset Blvd. there is a problem with the drainage and it always creates a rather large puddle. However on this evening, it was more than a puddle, maybe 5-10" of water deep and around 10 feet wide.

Initially I didn't see it, and went through it at 35 mph (speed limit) which slowed the car down to 10 mph and sent water flying upwards at least 5 feet on both sides of the car.

Being a teenager, and saying cool, I did it several at least 3 more times at increased speed. (Thus increasing the cool factor...)

X3 handled it like a champ, but it never occurred to me that this could have caused damage... Perhaps next time I'll use more caution.
