92 BMW X5's and X6's damaged and/or destroyed in train derailment

This may be a repost but someone will be missing their new BMW as almost 100 were damaged and or destroyed on their way to the port of Charleston.

I'm wondering if these were for export going to Charleston port.

Quick, I need an MSport steering wheel with airbag, a tire spare kit, a new set of wheels and tires, and whatever else that is on back order like a windshield for HUD equipped trucks.

its possible that some may have minor damage and parts can be replace not repair. i wonder if BMW consider all of the vehicles total.

We just ordered one, I take it this will delay production and delivery on the basis they need to replace the 120 written-off, I wonder how long it take BMW to produce 120 X5,6s.

Err....how do you think they get to the port to be put on the ship

This is exactly where these ones were going, and is exactly how yours (and mine) get transported to the port for shipping.

I know, you are right. What I meant is mine is on the ship already. It's been for a few days now. Keeping my fingers crossed for no waves, tsunamis and bad weather

Base on their November production of 32000 cars, it would take them a little over a day's production time.
