What is the maximum wading depth of the BMW X3?

[McRylee]

According to official specifications, the maximum wading depth of the BMW X3 is 400mm. Common tire specifications include 245/45R20 and 245/50R19, with a vehicle height of 1689mm, configured as a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. Maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water level a vehicle can safely traverse. Generally, sedans have a maximum wading depth not exceeding 300mm, while SUVs can handle slightly deeper water but should ideally not exceed 500mm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 700mm, the Audi A4 at 320mm, Volkswagen Sagitar at 700mm, Land Rover Range Rover at 900mm, Jeep Compass at 800mm, and the Toyota Highlander at 455mm. SUVs typically exhibit greater wading capabilities than sedans. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures depending on the water depth and the vehicle's characteristics, as detailed below: When water reaches the exhaust pipe level, the situation remains safe. Even if water enters the exhaust, internal pressure can expel it. Avoid stalling the engine in water to prevent backflow into the vehicle. Water reaching the door sill height becomes hazardous. Electrical circuits, electronic components, and sensors concentrated in the lower body may short-circuit, damaging critical systems and preventing normal engine startup. Water reaching the air intake level is extremely dangerous. Direct entry into such conditions may cause immediate engine stall, resulting in permanent engine damage or complete failure.
