Buried in a giant hole in the North Texas countryside lay a well kept secret.

Tommy Reed, a special agent with the National Insurance Crime Bureau said it had "been in the ground for nearly two years. It was in bad shape."

Investigators initially only found a muddy mess. They brought in a backhoe and started digging. Reed said, "There was trash exposed. It was six to seven (feet) down, and we had to dig another four to five feet to get it out."

The mangled metal detectives unearthed were the remains of a 2000 BMW 740I 12 feet beneath the ground. The car, which cost $60,000 brand new, was now worthless.http://video.aol.com/video-detail/bmw-sports-car-found-buried-in-texas/3963448442

The unreliable POS wasn't worth keeping so he killed it and buried 12ft deep to collect the insurance.

Notice they even call this plush luxury sedan a "sportscar". BMW marketing deserves a medal. LOL.

Hey Willis, if you think autospies members are stupid, what do you think of the media that reports this story calling that luxury sedan a sports car?

Why so much hate on this site? German and Asian cars are great, and when they compeate against each other they TRY to bring us the best toys for us to enjoy, just five years ago 300 HP sedan was un heard of.

It's still unheard of at BMW, my 2008 55K 5serie only makes 230hp and even less torque. I have a hard time beating Pruis and school bus.

"the 1998 GS400 had 300hp"

Um, that's not what he meant. That's a V8. Most eight-cylinder luxury sedans had 300hp, or close to 300hp, by the late '90s. He meant the small six-cylinder sedans that we see today, am I right?

I'd assume when talking about a 300hp car in this thread, you would be talking about this 740i, which was a V8 w/close to 300hp (282 to be exact).

I'm amazed at the stupidity of the comments that come out on this Web site. There are always people flaming each other for the most absurd reasons or articles. Everyone likes their own cars... who cares, respect other people's opinions and stop trying to force yours down others' throats.

And by the way, "Jap" is not a nice word. That's like using the "n" word on someone. What happened to respect for each other?

I just love cars. All cars. If you just love a single brand and are a snob about it, then blog at a site that just supports your marque.

Aah, North Texas, this explains it! Driving the car to Mexico and parking with the keys inside the ignition required a 7 hour drive. It was just quicker to bury it.
