That is pretty sad, feel bad for the owners of the ED cars, I know I would be very upset if that happened to me.

Do we know which area/distribution center the tipped ship was headed to? Is this 3% rule official BMW policy??

I saw the pics of that ship a little while ago. All I can say is "sucks to be the owners". How they righted that ship had to have been a feat 'cause it was completely on it's side

I believe you have your ships confused. This ship didn't tip. It was a quality control error involving the shipping straps. Or maybe that is just what they told us. So correct me if I am wrong. Contrary to popular belief, I don't know everything. lol
