My dealer has two flooded M3s and 30 total cars from teh storm. One customer got a new X5 loaner and promptly hydrolocked that one the next day trying to get to her son in an emergency.
Waiting for replacement adjuster, my original adjuster went back to the west coast of Florida. Spoke to service manager, he expects them to approve a new engine. I get a two year warranty if done. Maybe I will find out tomorrow.

Hope it all works out for the OP, good luck with getting it totalled so you would be free of it regarding future problems re salvage, etc. Sounds like you have a good chance of insurance totalling it, given new engine vs 4 years old.

Why would it be a salvage title? No accident reported, no change in ownership, can the insurance company do this, or simply report flood damage. Anyone in Florida know?

Yes the flood damage will be reported and may or may not show up on an autocheck or carfax. The car will still have a clean title though. Salvage titles are only for cars deemed total losses.

I'm ignorant on how insurance companies title claims but I thought that the only time they identify flood daamge is if water gets into the car and they have to replace internal components. Do they use the same general classification if water just gets into the motor?

What an ignorant statement. Like no Californian has EVER lived anywhere besides California and California NEVER gets any flooding. We couldn't possibly understand.

Sorry to hear that. South Florida didn't get it too bad.
Sure, 18 inches in one day in Wellington (South Florida), not bad at all, twice as much water as Wilma. I always keep my car garaged with weather like that... too many potential problems. This obviously being the worst. Sure I guess I could walk to work instead of driving my only car...

Dealer advises that a new engine will have to be shipped from Germany at a cost of $24,800. 3 weeks to deliver. Installation not included
Seats are unbolted, and car now has no pads or carpet with plastic trim in trunk. Still waiting on Geico
