[QUOTE="Oris318, post: 121581, member: 881"] I had my car service at the workshop recently, and then I saw a brand new 530I that need pistons replacement. I was informed that the owner drove through water catchment about 8 inches and the water went into the engine. Apparently, my mechanic told me this is because the air intake is lower than other automobiles. I symphatize the ower, because it costs him around RM28,000 to get his car back in shape. My boss drive the same model, and he had almost similar problem when drive through flash flood/water catchment area. He saw some smoke coming out from the engine compartment. Luckily he still can drive the car.. :D .. Just wanna share these info with you guy... ;) [/QUOTE]
