1 Answers
BMWs submerged to the level of the hood, dashboard, or roof will be considered a total loss. Classification of water submersion levels: Level 1: Water just reaches the vehicle's chassis. Level 2: Water reaches halfway up the wheels. Level 3: Water almost completely submerges the tires. Level 4: Water reaches the engine compartment cover. Level 5: Water completely submerges the engine compartment cover. Level 6: Water submerges the roof. Damage caused by water submersion: Heavy rain can cause vehicles to be submerged, leading to damage to components such as seats and electrical circuits. Additional losses include collision damage from floating vehicles and rescue expenses like towing. Insurance coverage for water damage typically includes towing fees, rescue costs, and repairs to electrical components caused by heavy rain.
