A BMW driver who took a chance and tried to drive through a deep-water ford has paid the price.
In a video uploaded to TikTok by user @benregers, the red BMW 640d Series is seen driving into the water too quickly.

The video was shot using a smartphone and starts by showing the BMW approaching the ford, which is clearly quite deep.
There are lots of people looking on as the BMW enters the water and begins to cross.
However, the speed it’s going means water flows up over the bonnet and onto the windscreen.
With so much water entering the engine bay, it’s no surprise the BMW only manages to get halfway across before cutting out.
As it comes to a stop, the water line is actually only halfway up its wheels, suggesting it might have made it at a slower speed.
The video then cuts to a 4×4 reversing into the water, then to the BMW being towed out onto the other side of the ford.

You can see the BMW’s rear wheels are locked as it’s dragged out because its gearbox is in Park, causing even more damage.
Judging by the hashtags on the video, this is Rufford Ford in Nottinghamshire, which has claimed multiple motors, many caught on camera and shared online.
People couldn’t believe the stupidity of the BMW driver and let their feelings be known in the comments.
One said: “I fail to understand why so many people want to destroy so many beautiful cars! What’s wrong with them?!”
While another said: “I love watching these but it baffles me as to how many people actually think they will make it.”
