Today NE Ohio was hit with a whole shitload of rain. 9 inches of rain in less than 2 hours.
Anyways, on my way to a friends house, I ran into some water that was a lot deeper than the rest. My car died. I opened the door of my car to find the water 1/4 of an inch from pouring into the car. I turned the car off and pulled the keys from it and took my socks and shoes off and began to push the car back down the street away from all the water. The water was up to my knees (I'm 5'11"). I got the car up and out of the water and into a driveway. Car doesn't turn over now.
I'm hoping it was just the starter thats dead or that it needs to dry out, but I'm beginning to think my car is hydrolocked from all the water. The car is a stock suspension 325ix.
Has anyone had experience with water and flooding in an e30 like this before? If so, please chime in.
Right now the cars sitting on the other side of town in a cemetary driveway. Hopefully the cars not dead.
