Mostly 1'ers and new M3's on board headed for the US. Many are going to the scrap yard and others will be fixed up and resold.

and it doesnt matter cuz its news.

Most (if not all) of the new M3's on the way were coming to fulfill pre-orders. BMWNA will have to calm down a few folks...

and to make it even worse, the majority of the preorders were ED cars. Could you imagine if you didn't check the shipping insurance box for $5 a day like when you rent a car? But I am wondering if BMW is has to hold the shipping Co. responsible for that since they no longer own the ED cars.

and yes i know it's "repost" i was messing around. i like to make my own words sometimes

wow poor cars smashed and have ED lol J/k just reminds me of the ED commecials... Still Sad poor M's And 1's.......

Just in case, n00b, ED = European delivery. I hadn't thought about that. Wouldn't it suck to have driven your car, kiss it and tell it "see you when you get there," and it not get there?

If the car has less than 3% total value in damage, it will be repaired and sold (with a form stating repairs). Any more than that will either be repaired and used as company vehicles, or crushed.

german-speed-demon · 03-05-2008, 10:21 AM

spare parts anyone?

i kid, i know that was mean. i'm feeling vaguely evil today

SHAHAB323IS · 03-05-2008, 12:44 PM

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??

german-speed-demon · 03-05-2008, 03:39 PM

And that ship has too much windage/weight above the waterline. T
