450 BMW's Worth N5.5b Damaged In Sandstorm While Travelling From Germany To UK by obafemee80(m): 1:40am On Jul 19, 2018 |
About 450 luxury BMW's worth £11m (about N5.2b in naira) were damaged beyond repair when a huge pile of sand was blown over them near a construction site in Germany. Around 4000 UK bound luxury BMWs were parked next to the construction site that housed a huge pile of sand near a port town in northern Germany. The remaining 3,500 luxury cars were serviced and checked by a Southampton Cargo Handling. The company ,tasked with cleaning as many as 30 cars a day between April and June ,removed sand from air filters and alternators. The company insider said: "A flat matte paint job for these cars costs around £20,000 , they are that expensive. A BMW spokesman said: "A number of BMW vehicle orders were affected due to a major storm in Cuxhaven, one of the key ports through which many UK-bound vehicles travel. The damaged models during the sandstorm includes the M140i, M2, M3, 218, 220, 230, 320,330, M4, M5 and the new i8s" https://autojosh.com/450-bmws-worth-n5-5b-damaged-in-sandstorm-while-travelling-from-germany-to-uk/ 3 Likes 1 Share |

Only real reasons why these probably wouldn't be headed to a "Tokunbo" dealer near you: -UK Market, so probably production Right Hand Drive -High performance BMWs? No Take them and hand over the Corollas and the Camrys, thank you very much. Otherwise, Sand? Please. Sand = Nothing We have moved on to greater things. Poseidon himself would be amazed by these feats. We have rescued his vehicles from the sharks and plankton and returned them to mortal domain in "accident and flood free" condition for gullible humans to "Buy and Drive" 48 Likes 1 Share |

Sand Strom in Western Europe?? That's to say the heap of sands could as well be causing health hazards. A bit surprised while the German authorities, with all it high standard for safety, would let this happen in the first place. The area where the sands are heaped should be sealed off. 2 Likes 1 Share |
