The tablet they’ve tacked onto the dashboard needs to go. I can’t see where using this - even to change radio stations or adjust a butt warmer - is any more or less safe than texting on a smartphone while driving. Menus and sub-menus with items you’ve first got to find, then aim a finger at in order to use, steal your…
The mechanical department determined the accident was a result of bad train handling. The track department found the root cause was a thin wheel flange that had picked a switch point. The train crew complained of feeling a rough ride through the area that hadn’t been slow-ordered on their track warrants. Operations’…
All of these vehicles will be cubed and shredded. Liability is WAY too high for something to go wrong down the line related to this accident, even for spare parts. I’ve heard that even if the vehicles are untouched inside the auto rack, if it leaves the rails, they’re all shredded for scrap.

You’re going to have a seller who clearly went over the car with a fine-toothed comb, and you’ll have a meticulous buyer who knows what he’s getting into when he sees the stamp and talks with the seller. This isn’t…
Likely sold off as a ‘lot’ to an auction house or sadly even more likely, a scrap metal dealer for pennies per pound. Debt collectors aren’t in the business of selling cars, much less classic BMW’s, and would try to get whatever quick money they could regardless of collector value.
VW could still buy back the ‘bought-used-after-scandal’ cars to get them off the road, but I’d think they’d be off the hook for the full amount given to pre-scandal owners. KBB values plummeted for private resale after the scandal broke, and one of the components of the restitution payment was shoring up that loss of…
I see headlights, tail lights (both with integrated turn signals), seat, seat belt, windshield, wipers, likely the brake system, front & rear crash structure, emissions & exhaust system (lol), wheels with appropriate tread depth, rear view mirror. points I’ll give you are side mirrors and a maybe a functioning horn…
