The water went through the air filter, all the way into the intake manifold.Needless to say, the car stalled, when other protons, nissans and what nots just went past with ease.AAM came and said that its common with BMWs to stall in even the slightest flooded area. Now my friend is forking out  alot of moolah for an overhaul.Anybody else had this problem? Any views?</p></blockquote><p></p>
