Well there's driving on the Beach & driving on the Beach. I do a surf beach run up to the beach house every weekend, day or night, high or low tide, 14klm run one way.
The X5 is quite capable, its just that some driver are not!

Even if you replaced the damaged modules BMW will not warranty the car anymore as corrosion sets in and the pins & plugs fail, there would always be something going wrong. Fresh water now that a different story as corrision is not as big a factor.

With the amount of electronics in that lower floor area I would not want to even spill a bucket of water over in the front, even the sensors on the adaptive drive suspension cannot handle exposure for a long period of time in water! It took only minutes to fill the lower floor area with water and all you could feel was that the carpet was wet and then the iDrive started to light up light a Xmas tree and everthing started to fail & then the transmission goes into park. The only way to get pulled out is to get the red release key out of the trunk and release the transmission. The X5 only has around 220mm clearence, so water over 300mm is a no no and never make a bow wave as the air intake in the front will kill your motor, you cannot compress water in your cylinder heads, bent conrods! Anyway I picked the 3rd new X5 up last Friday night to use over the weekend just to test some new 6mm offset castor bushes I had install, two hours later I was rallying up the beach, oh and I did not use the second cutting, to much water in it, went out the first cutting instead!

That photo kind of reminds me of the first time I took my X5 on the beach. I didn't know about letting the air out of the tires and sure enough I got stuck in the sand. No water involved thank God. It was embarassing trying to push it out with the wife driving and all the old beat-up pickup trucks driving by and grinning. Finally someone stopped and asked me if I'd let air out of the tires. Once I did that the X hopped right out of the holes she'd dug and down the beach we went!
