you can get through at least 1000mm of water with a decent bow wave as long as you keep moving. you wont necessarily need an RAI either as the trough of the bow wave is lower than the intake. Just Dont Stop !!

the suspension is in "Super Extended Mode" in the photo which should give you an idea of the water depth

It's not just the depth of the water, if it's flowing at any significant pace, that can cause problems too.
I went through a ford some time ago in my first D3, it was probably about a metre or so deep but flowing into the passenger side, so I didn't consider the air intake to be at risk, however I failed to take account of the extent of the flow which lifted the back end of the car and pushed it off the central concrete "roadway" and into the deeper silt at the side - killed the electrics and the whole car. It was recovered nearly 24hrs later, (it's a long story) and promptly written off as a cat B.
It certainly makes me think a bit more carefully now about the consequences of going through deep water.
Happy swimming
Yes the current is very important Salmon fishing in Icleand lest year we drove across a very fast river only about 2 feet deep with a gravel bottom and the car started to bounce down stream which was an interesting experience!Club Narpy Torch

this has to be one of my favourites - although driving through liquid sand does tend to wear the components out a little quicker !
