This had to be a bad day for BMW or better, for the insurance company that had to pay. It happened in New Jersey, where 370 new BMW E92 M3s have been damaged while 70 were totally wrecked, all of these because of a tipped cargo ship at port.

This is such a bad deal for those that were waiting for their car, but knowing that BMW is going to repair all the damaged and sell them as new, is worse. The 70 totally wrecked will be crushed.

The loss will be covered by the insurance company, but that’s still not reassuring for the buyer. You’d better call your local dealer and see if you’re getting a brand new car or a repaired-new car.
