Back in the mid 90's I owned a fairly nice, but needy Fjord Blue 1976 BMW 3.0si (Bavaria) with red leather interior. Mods included an AC Snitzer cam, Alpina 70% posi rear end and Alpina style wheels.
The street it was parked on flooded with nearly 18" of water. Thinking that with the rain still coming it would only get worse, I went over to it and climbed in (car was tilted to one side) and started here up, only to create a massive series of electrical shorts. Should have left her alone. The rain abated, but the car never ran right after that. I chased electrical demons and resourced NLA relays for a year before I gave up on her.
Hell of a road car. RIP
