97 BMWs Damaged after Trail De-Railed in South Carolina

Anyone know what happened? I don't see any 2ers, though!

Mostly B & W SUV's. Near the factory, maybe they can return them and sell them cheap.

All I see are vehicles that BMW should have never been building in the first place. No love lost here.

They are all X models and they were headed overseas apparently from the South Carolina plant.

Title of the OP needs to be altered......none of them are "Damaged"

Rather, they are totally destroyed

Well, looks like a large inventory of "like new" BMW engine and drive-line parts became available.
And, some interior bits may be available as well.

This was a Norfolk Southern train headed to the Port of Charleston.

Two years ago, NS put a handful of carloads of Chevys on the ground in Pennslvania.

This one, though, "is gonna cost just a little bit more," as my mechanic friend would say.

Hmmm...Wasn't there an accident aboard a ro-ro ship carrying BMWs a handful of years ago, where the load shifted while the ship was in port? It sticks in my head that there were over a hundred cars involved in that one, mostly 1s and 3s.
