Wondering if anyone has experience with an i3 that has been through a flood. If they run and drive, do they tend to continue to do so, or do they develop numerous gremlins? Might be a way for me to learn more about these cars, but hard to know how much to bid with out knowing how much thouble it will have. I have no problem with cleaning out the battery case.
 
The HV battery is sealed and shouldn't be damaged, the body isn't corrosive, but the rest will behave the same as in the other cars. Rust, corroded connectors, etc. The feasibility of restoration will depend on how deep and how long the car was in the water and if it was fresh or salt water. If it is REX you'll have to deal with both powertrains.
