BMW cars damaged in port accident
[EDIT: Not a port accident. Damage occurred due to rough seas.]
Many BMW cars, mostly M3s, were damaged on board the Courage during rough seas before arriving in the Jersey City port.

No mention of any MINIs being on board.

Oh I've heard it called all sorts of things when the engines spun bearings and blew
I find it interesting that they went with such a sedate suit color for the launch dealer demo cars, although, as I've heard such things can reflect the state of the economy/politics.

that really is very sad. looks like some 1-series were on the boat, too. lucy2811 i hope your mini is ok. but at least you know, and you can find out if it was damaged at all and was repaired at vdc, etc. you have every right to not take delivery if things were done to it or if it bothers you

[EDIT: Incorrect interpretation of report on my part: it didn't tip in port; it tipped at sea during rough seas.]
I didn't see any details as to what "tipping" means, but I assume it became unbalanced as they were unloading, causing the cars and/or containers to slide around. Jenga!
