Maritime Accidents involving BMW's

Back in 2008 the vessel MV Courage tumbled when it suffered a hard list while in route to New Jersey's port. The vessel was carrying approximately 2,000 brand new cars, mostly BMW 1-Series, 3-Series and M3's. Only 370 new BMW were damaged, 70 new BMW's were a total loss. The damaged new BMW's were repaired and sent on their way to their new owners. It's unknown if the owners were made aware of the damage during shipping. It was reported that the 70 new BMW's that were a total loss were destroyed.
