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.

damaged cars sold as new? I sure wouldn't want this year's M3...

marshallpre1 · 01-13-2008, 10:03 PM

That sucks

^ haha

Keeper1343 · 01-14-2008, 04:13 AM

don't really care that much about them... They seem to be very overpriced. I liked the older style M3's anyway. Sucks what happened though. Hope nobody was killed.

You get what you pay for

james_ls · 01-14-2008, 12:13 PM

Nice wheels.

They should part them out! LoL.

S4toSTI · 01-14-2008, 12:18 PM

That stinks but this does happen from time to time.

Same, unless they offered a longer and better warranty on the cars (although BMW has a nice warranty anyway). I wonder if they will even tell the people that ordered them what happened.

yellow2000S/R · 01-14-2008, 02:14 PM

I'll take the wheels off this car... and I want a set of headlights and wiring to use the projectors out of LOL.

he obviously meant a LONGER one. delete ur post, the mere fact that u found a reason to type that hurts my brain.

namdoogwerdna · 01-14-2008, 02:48 PM

Yeah, I meant a longer one. Same thing, longer = better in most cases.

Clearly you must be the authority on whether or not it is worth the money you spend, especially considering since official pricing was only released yesterday by BMW AG and you probably haven't seen one in person let alone drive one.

SovXietday · 01-14-2008, 05:17 PM

Lol.

Don't get your panties all up in a bunch, and don't say that you aren't because you are. It's just a car and an opinion, but considering I could buy a car everytime you do a brake job I'll gladly pass.

NOPSTNS · 01-14-2008, 05:30 PM

bastid, he drives a camaro and a civic, do u value his opinion on bmw's?

its like listening to barry tell me that rotaries are 2.6l engines.....

just smile and nod bastid....smile and nod

What? Your posts make no sense. Just because I don't drive a BMW means that I don't have a valuable opinion on them?

I don't like the cars, I'm sorry if my opinion doesn't suit you, that's why it's mine and not yours. It's also why I don't drive one, did you think of that before you commented?

I'll bunch my panties if I want, but considering the fact that you are wrong I see it as being justified.

Full warranty covers all parts including brakes, pads, fluids, lines, etc for 4 years and 50,000 miles. It can be extended to 6 years and 100,000 miles.
