I saw on CNN that cargo is washing ashore from the ship that ran aground off the coast of Britian. Some of the cargo were BMW motorcycles. My Cooper S is EN ROUTE and has been for a week and I am not able to track it on the WW sight using my VIN. Curiosity has set in.

 

From what I have read on the BMW forums is that it is only BMW parts with some motorcycles. A lot of M5 parts (engine, steering wheels).

 

Yep - no worries for the MINI crowd. The ship involved was a containerized shipping vessel, and the MINIs are shipped on dedicated vehicle carriers that can carry up to 6100+ MINIs at a time.

 

Nothing for mini's appearing on ebay, so I guess not!
