Re: More train pictures! 70 SS BB Camaro
370 BMW's were damaged last Jan when a carrier ship tipped in port, in Jersey City.
The 370 cars included the 1 series, the 3-series as well as the new M3 models. 70 of the damaged cars were a total loss and had to be crushed, as these cars had damage to the engines and the structure of the car. The rest of the 300 cars were taken to the service stations to get it fixed. - -  -  -  -  -
