Oh man... my wife got home today and she told me that she drove through running water caused by heavy rain here in the east coast. She said that the water may have been a foot to a foot and half deep. She didn't notice anything wrong with the car afterward and continued driving home. She did say that she thought she smelled something burning for a moment, but it went away pretty quickly. I went back outside and turned on the power without cranking the engine and the system stated that everything is functioning properly. Is there anything I should be aware of or check for potential issues?
The manual states that the X5 can take up to 20" of water so that's a little comforting. But I really dont know how good my wife is in gauging water depth either.
What pisses me off the most is that I warned her just last night about not driving through standing water since we did get a freaking flash flood warning
This video does show an X5 going through pretty deep water (looks higher than 20") but according to the reports, one of those test vehicles did stall.
