This guy may regret this once his electronics go on the fritz or the water he took in through the intake is causing issues with the engine. I know quattro is awesome, but driving through water above the hood line is not a smart move with a street car.

Seems idiotic to drive through water that deep.

Can only hope this doesn't become a comparison of intelligence by brand based on who went first, and seeing that, who attempted to follow.

Eh in a flood like that the driver is likely more concerned about getting to his family, or not getting stranded like those bimmers. I read it as a man on a mission, no alternative but to keep calm and carry on, risks had to be taken. It was survival. He also might have really had to use the bathroom, ever think of that? Tacos, gentlemen, grant no quarter. Merciless bastards that they are.

I really doubt that he went much further than what the video showed.

To have 3 BMW stuck is a BIG deal. Goes to show their engines dont have good exhaust system. Audi does rule here.
