That they have to bear massive amounts of petty jealousy from people who can't even afford BMWs even though they're not even that expensive? You're right!
There is a reason why they are called "Bavarian Motor Rowdys". Just like the Raudi driver in the opposite direction. They are both the worst of the worst.

It all depends how low the Air Intake is positioned in the fender behind the frontwheels... better ontop of the enigne or the best is using a snorkel (air intake ontop car window)
@@ukjunglist26 Rods that connect the piston and the crankshaft. When water gets into the engine and the piston moves up, it can't compress it. So the connecting rod bends
@@Robert-cu9bm Really any internal combustion engine would get fucked from sucking in more than a tiny amount of water. When water gets sucked in, it’s like drastically lowering the effective height of the head, to the point of severe interference. Suddenly your 10:1 or 20:1 (diesel) becomes like 5000:1 and bends shit.
@@willbill808 Not always, many factors determine the outcome, how much water the speed of the engine..etc. It's more likely for a diesel as they run a much higher compression, have bigger flywheels. The rotating mass in a diesel is far higher than a petrol, then combine that with the higher compression ration is the reason it's worse for a diesel to get water in the intake.
Funny thing is that if you drive slowly, you can do that in almost every car, without any damage. But these people seem to not know that by driving fast they're making a big wave in front of the car, which floods the air intake and goes straight to the engine. Typically, it needs then a full disassemble, cleaning and replacing the pistons, cranks and other parts. In many cases it's more expensive than the engine replacement or even a whole car.
When water enters through the air filter and is sucked into the engine the things goes horribly wrong. Since the water cannot compress as much as the air, the piston going upwards is trynig to squeeze it but instead the result is bent piston rods and the engine is gone...
Someone told me that if i entered deep waters, to not let off the gas until i was out. How true is that? The only 2 times I've had an issue with flooding, i made it out (didn't see the water until i was already in it). Normally, Id just pull over and wait.
The first guy looked like his world had ended in the carpark when he was told by the AA guy that he most likely needed a whole new engine and his insurance won't cover him as he chose to drive through the water.
You'd think the 'fans' on the sideline would be a clue that something bad is going to happen. Probably a simple cheap blue tarp over the grill and you'd be sweet.
Have you thought about publishing a league table of which cars have the highest chances of failure to cross? I was well impressed the Lexus's made it, those hybrids have vented battery packs under the back seat. Electricity and water generally don't mix well 💥. 😂.
these hybrid batteries are over the frame, on the side you can access from the top (usually somewhere under the rear seats), so they're not in immediate danger once the car is half-tire deep in the water. plus wiring is insulated. Idk if toyota's engineers expected people would try crossing 60 cm of water, but they should have expected people to use their car in very heavy rain, so water running down the car and all over the bottom of the frame is taken into account :)
Splendid! I'm little over a minute in & already 5 morons have wrecked their cars 😆 keep it up! Edit: 9 wrecked cars in the video in total plus all the ones that had numberplates & bodywork peeled off by the water, I don't know whether to be impressed or hold my head in despair! 😆
That red BM... What a bumpkin. He sees a duck and continues to drive anyway. It would seem that the duck wants to tell him something, but no... This is hilarious.
Looks like this is the optimum depth for killing cars. Any deeper they are weary shallower they go way to fast . But this is just right to Lul them into a false sense of security and floor it
Where is BMW putting the air intake these days, the sump? What are dealers fitting number plates with? Some of them were extremely lucky. Wish some of the 4x4 drivers would come a cropper, far to cocky.
Indeed, some bmw have the intake behind the fog lights a bit too low and with breather holes at the bottom so if you accelerate hard it could suck water.
Wow, people really think there cars are impervious. I used to work in a main dealer and I could safely bet on 2 or 3 cars being recovered in following flooding . What was memorable was the number of drivers who were outraged that their car couldn't tolerate water over their bonnets.
We were at Rufford Mill on Saturday, my sons wedding, it rained all day, watched a young man in a burgundy BMW, he didn’t make it either, and judging by way he was on the phone, I don’t think it was his car.
My Toyota avensis went through a flood like this by accident over the bonnet and everything it was absolutely fine touch wood The front number plate cane flying off!

BMW are really bad in the floods. There air intake are below the bumper

And they all looked good cars

Funny how some all the cheaper cars seem to survive and the expensive ones break down
That's because so many cheaper cars have transverse engines with the air intake safer behind the engine and exhaust facing forward.
@Silverhoof this is a ford. it's meant to be driven through, but only if the water is low enough or your clearance high enough.
