370 BMW's Damaged in cargo ship accident

http://www.autounleashed.com/370-bmw...-ship-incident

Sorry if this is a repost. (Original article from 01/15/08)

Click on link for pics . . Ouch! -At least one AW 135i in the mess.




I’m sure today wasn’t a good day for BMW North America or for one insurance company. Because of a tipped cargo ship in New Jersey, 370 BMW cars were damaged, 70 of which were completely wrecked. And that’s not all the bad news…it seems that most of the cars were brand new E92 M3s. I’m sure the insurance company which will pay for this won’t be so happy about it.

The damaged cars will be taken to BMW’s Elizabeth Receiving facility where they’ll be fixed and then sold as new, which I don’t know if it’s so convenient for the buyers. The 70 severely damaged cars will be crushed.
