Urgently need help!

Z4 On fire · 09-24-2013, 11:01 AM

Hi there, I drive a Z4 Roadster 2003 3.0i - SMG transmission. Few days ago I had the opportunity to take a look in the bottom área and I found that it does not have transmission cover, went to the dealer and they say that it is so, that does not take cover in that part, anyone could tell me if this is normal, water does not damage the electronic under there?

I have attached a picture from the área.

Thanks for your responses

My 2003 3.0i SMG has no cover on this area. I have never had a problem with it geting wet.

It was urgent because we have tremendous downpours right now and tons of wáter get thru the cars bottom and I didn´t know if the electronic was going to be damaged, that´s it.

Got it. Driving the car through deep water isn't recommended. Some have seen ABS/DSC issues with water intrusion into various modules in the wheel wells. Ordinary wet roads aren't something to worry about, but deep puddles, that's another story. If there's a flood, best to try and stay out of it.

I have a lifted landcruiser for that.
