1 series and m3's damaged on a cargo ship????

sluday · 05-01-2008, 06:20 PM

I heard from a friend who is a Mazda salesman that a cargo ship headed to the US loaded with 1 series and M3's had encountered rough seas and 100's of cars were damaged due to improper tie downs. Any truth to this rumor? I'll take a 135 with scratched paint for 50% off:biggrin:

It's true but it happened back in January. And according to the article I read most of the cars were so damaged they were going to be destroyed. The remaining ones that could be repaired were going to be turned into fleet vehicles.
