BMW to disclose damage on shipwrecked cars
Mr. Plucinsky said BMW had contacted the customers affected. For models whose damage is less than 3 percent of its value, buyers can choose to accept a repaired car or a similar model, or have a new car built to order.

Repairable cars with more than 3 percent damage will be driven by company employees. They will eventually be resold as certified used cars, with full disclosure of their history.

Hmm... Not sure that is a good idea... I wouldn't want to buy a car which have been damaged even before it got on the road! Who knows what hidden damage those cars could carry around! Hanging in the lashings on a Roro ship for prolonged periods of time isn't good for any car! They should do like Mazda after the Cougar Ace incident! SCRAP'EM!

i'd take the deal and take the repaired car. Just imagine if anything goes wrong in the future even if it has nothing to do with the shipwrecked damage you could just blame it on that and I guarantee they'd let it go and fix it.

It's good to hear that BMW is doing the right thing here. BMW is a luxury brand here in the US, and they are doing an excellent job taking care of their customers.
