He tried to start back the engine with no avail. All other cars went past him without any problems. After towing to the service center (AB glenmarie) they found the water had already penetrated the engine block. Be mindful according to him he was riding the water slowly. Again this just a puddle not some flash flood. The water level was just above his ankle.AB told him it is not covered by warranty and the estimated repair cost is approximately 50-60k.  Question: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  Had anyone experienced this? I read the manual it's written water depth of 6 inch.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  Can we claim the warranty sighting it was partly a design fault? Otherwise this F30 is so manja and not compatible with out tropical downpour climate.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  If not would an additional coverage of flood on the car insurance would cover this?</li> </ul>Thanks and be careful F30 owners out there.</blockquote>
