quick update
last week cuz of all the bad weather and heavy rain, the sewers in my area overflowed for a few minutes and my block turned into a lake.
flooded the right side of my car, which you guys im assuming know is where the computer is. in any case, i called the insurance company.
Right now the car is back at bmw and its getting the evaluation done.
From what im told, if its bad enuff they are gonna claim it as a total loss...if so, maybe ill go for an M5 this time...my pockets will be a lot thinner but hey...It will be worth it.
check out the damage pics.

That sucks man. Where was it flooded? =/
I drove by the GCP near my area and the water was super high. Had to slow down like 5mph to get through it.
Did the rain leak in? or was the road/ street up to your doors?
I had a leak like that once, but that was just into one corner of the cabin, by the rear passenger side carpet. Was soaked a few times. It sucked when I couldn't figure it out. Turned out to be a leak in the sunroof.

Yikes,
water damaged cars are scary... Im sure they can dry it out for you, and replace some parts. But i will be really weary down the road. With all the electrical components in the car. It takes time for the watter to seep into the wiring and other parts of the car. Only than you will have the real issues.
If im not mistaken, since you already contacted the insurance company wouldnt they deem the car a water damage car now? if thats the case it will loose alot of value if you go to resell it.
Sorry to see this, i hope all things work out for you.
