I heard something the other day about "stupid driver" clauses in insurance policies - i.e. if you do something really stupid you're simply not covered. Driving into high water is given as the example of something really stupid. Not sure how common the use of the clause.

He could have bought a G Wagon for that much. Then he could drive through all the high water he wanted to.

FWIW, drive a Mini Cooper S ( supercharged ) through a deep puddle of water, and I can pretty much guarantee you ,you will experience " Hydrostatic Lock ", i.e. demolish the engine in the same manner.
The price for the engine is pretty much the same as a BMW V-12.

A friend of mine did the exact same thing with her new Mini Cooper

Would the bill have been any less had your dealership received the correct parts when ordered? Again. Thanks for sharing. And if you have any spare parts from this job in N. Jersey, I'll happily pick up. I need a few M120 parts for a damaged W140 S600

No, the wrong part only cost us some time, not any actual money.

If I owned that car I'd keep a copy of the invoice in the records, scare the **** out of the next owner.

Geico? I am impressed. That little dancing lizard puts his money where his mouth is.

* ILUVMILS, what is the thinking behind replacing the cats and turbos? How does a dose of water hurt those parts?

54k$ is probably less than 1/2 the value of the car new; I would have argued to get another vehicle. Would that show on the car fax in the future?

Yeah, Good point. If it does, that would really hurt your resale value even though you went to the expense of completely replacing the engine.
