I'd get all fluids replaced especially tranny and differential. Listen to what others are saying to save yourself BIG $$$ later.
Justin I wouldnt worry about it. Back in march A back road I take home flooded and I went right through it. It was 28 inches of water. I know because although this seems stupid I went back later and measured it out my window with a measuring tape. Just to see how deep it was. The water was above the top edge of my wheels. I put my suspension up and went really slow. My X5 is 100% fine since. If you got water in your intake it would have stalled immediately. You definately didnt get any water in the engine. It would have been immediate problems.
Also some here said to check tranny and diff fluids because they are not water proof. Although I may be wrong on this. It doesnt seem to make sense to me. If its not sealed and cant keep water out than how the hell does it keep the fluid from leaking out. Can someone explain how a seal can keep fluid from coming out but cant keep it from coming in.
