You guys are gonna throw up.

BMW NA loses 370+ cars because of a tipped cargo ship at port in Jersey city. 70 of the cars are total losses.

Majority of the destroyed vehicles were brand new E92 ///M3s. If you guys are expecting these cars soon, you might be in for an unpleasant surprise. I suggest giving your dealer a call.

Shipping company's insurance co. is footing the bill.

Those cars not damaged beyond repair will be fixed at BMW's Elizabeth Receiving facility and sold as new cars. Cars that are deemed beyond repair will be crushed.











YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEESE ARE BRAND NEW M3s THEY AREN'T EVEN FOR SALE YET

So they will fix those damaged cars and sell them as new? That's bs. They shouldn't be selling those cars as if they are straight out of factory new, they are just like being crashed.

Yup!! http://www.cedre.fr/uk/spill/tricolor/tricolor.htm

I work for Volvo Cars, and we lost a bunch of cars on this one.
BMW and SAAB also were included in this.

But ALL these cars sank 82 feet to the ocean floor
