But Warwickshire Police could not resist a humorous jibe at the driver, saying: "BMW do make some wonderful cars but what they don't have on sale for your everyday motorist is an amphibious vehicle you can nip to town in.
"No matter what make/model of vehicle you own, please don't drive through flooded sections of road.
