Default Does the BMP-3 Float?

Does the BMP-3 float in real life? I'm just wondering, because I haven't seen a BMP-3 on a map with water.

Assuming Wikipedia is correct, it should.

the dimensions are 7.14m x 2.4m x 3.2m, weighing 18,700kg.

7.14m*3.2m*2.4m*100cm*100cm*100cm = 54,835,200cm^3
18,700kg * 1000g = 18700000g

18700000g/54,835,200cm^3 = 0.341021825g/cm^3
Water = ~1.0g/cm^3

The BMP-3 is about one third the density of water.

It is amphibious in-game, but its very buggy on water.

lets just say that when going forward in water, it generates enough lift....

It is, but it does that all the time when accelerating and when turning left/right in water it behaves more like a boat/plane than a ground vehicle. Lots of possibilities for wheelies and flipping over and sinking upside down the failboat style.
