The Courage tipped today at the port in Jersey City causing major damage to over 300 BMWs not including 70+ BMWs that were total losses.
a majority of the destroyed vehicles were M3s (mostly in dark blue) with a variety of 3ers and 1ers smashed up as well. A small number of the cars destroyed had German Tourist plates on them, those European delivery customers will NOT be getting their cars back. If you were expecting your M3 or e90/92 in the next month, you're going to be in for a sad surprise. those cars that were a total loss will be crushed, |

Ouch!!!
surely there will be salvageable parts once the cars have been recovered but, due to insurance policy covering the shipment, this will be a no no..what a waste! Environmentalists will have a field day either way |

@rossi I don't think any went into the sea so the environmentalists haven't a leg to stand on. |

Don't need scuba gear all cars damaged broke loose from their straps and got damaged on the ship during bad weather crossing the Atlantic. All cars were brought onto the port were they were assed by the insurers etc
