Actually, it was mostly Volvo's and Saab's ... less than 20% was BMW...but it rims better with "luxury cars" in the magazine...

Soon, on a Discovery channel near you: James Cameron plumbs the depths of the ocean to spleunk the carnage of BMWs that never touched a wheel to ashphalt in anger.
"Zero miles on the odometer, I, ...I just can't bear to think of the youthful zeal, the life unlived, the horror, the horror!" said the plucky diver Cameron. "And to think there wasn't a single Cayenne on board - is there no God?" Jw

$50,000,000/2,862=$17,470...
What BMW, Volvo, or Saab can you get for $17,500??? Or does the $50 Mill reflect the fact that these cars will soon be on a showroom floor near you???

Buyer, "Gee, I don't know, that price seems high for a "Demo". "Why is it so salty?" Salesman, "Well, they have been really salting the roads lately." Buyer, "This is Los Angeles?'

This is why Ferrari transports their cars via ... air plane cargos. Saw four red Ferrari in crates at the Milano airport once.

Salvage experts say most if not all of the vehicles will have to be written off as total losses. Their estimated value is put at $50 million.
Most!? So they think some will be rebuilt after being extracted from the bottom of the ocean?
