What's the deepest water your E53 has gone through?
But with the unpredictable rains we are getting and occasional storm-sewer overflowing some roads I go through sometimes flood. So is 1 foot of standing water safe? 2 feet I make a u-turn? |

We've done 1 foot several times and maybe a 2 footer once...
the X didn't blink. Not rec'd, but standing water, at very creep-like speed, up to a couple of feet, should be no problem, imo. We've also plowed through 100 yd "lakes" on the interstate with very lil' hydroplanning and the ol'X just keeps on trucking. Moving water is a very different situ; the force of even a couple of feet of moving water is enormous and I wouldn't try it. GL,mD

The biggest threat is the electronics getting wet and shorting. Don't have to worry about hydrolocking until the water gets pretty high, since the intake piping starts above the radiator.

I love it when someone reads their manual. What could be more accurate.
