5 Series beemers cant swim
Me and the misses were out tonight carrying out a scientific study of a flooded railway bridge, ( oh, ok we might of been playing a tad also) And as we done our last (as we thought) run through the water a pair of headlamps appeared behind us, But before i could check/advise the driver of the level the vehicle entered the watery depths-----lights went underwater----lights went out :shock: I must point out the water was about four feet deep and about 40 feet plus long, or to put it another way i have a 3" lifted disco with slightly larger wheels on it and the bow wave was over me bonnet, and yes i did approach it sensibly, so i shouted to the owner ( a lady) to stay IN the car to try to avoid anymore water entering the vehicle, if that was possible? But no she opened the door and popped out #-o any how luckly she new the location of the beemers towing eye, and with a few lenghts of recovery rope she was out,( of the water anyhow,) At this point i usually have a chuckle at landy owners when they open the doors to let some water out :shock: But it was just over the level of the seats(leather off course) she was a member of a recovery company so left the rest to them, she was well made up with our efforts and wanted our adress to send flowers but we politely refused and just asked her to spread the word that off roaders can be of use, Just to finish this post off the final qoute from her was " just thought i would drive through here for a treat for my son who is in the back" P.S it was a 56 reg tourer (or was ) Emptied out me wellies and just finished hanging the recovery ropes in the garage to dry, Till the next time it rains any how

Oh dear, but that's the typical BMW owner isn't it.
BTW, who knows what BWM stands for, and I don't mean the nicknames.
