Why not keep them for BMW track events instead? Or sell them in South America?

Flying Ace · 04-12-2016, 06:53 PM

probably as a result from a jealous M4 owner.

Are your sure press cars get crushed?

Yeh a BMW rep at a driving even told me after the cars finish their tour they crush them because they cannot be sold.

That sucks since parts for a repair may take forever plus it plain old sucks

WWFit · 04-12-2016, 09:32 PM

That was quick

Press cars aren't crushed. After the press junkets are over BMW reconditions the cars at corporate and dealers are given the opportunity to purchase them. My first 335i sport sedan (2008) was a press car that I was able to lease as new from the dealer. The car had 4k miles on it. I remember he had a few 3 series, 5 series and a couple of 7 series including a B7. They were all press cars purchased form corporate.

Chances are the only time a press car would be crushed is if it is damaged beyond reasonable repair or structural integrity is compromised

Cool post, well thought out!

I was pretty sure I've READ in the recent past Texans were among the highest in vehicular related deaths - on average. So I did a little more READING and it seems like you guys are out of control.

Texas
Vehicular fatalities per 100k of population 13.12 vs the national average of 10.25

New Jersey
Vehicular fatalities per 100k of population 6.22 vs the national average of 10.25

Thanks for Bush though, he was great!!

Some Press vehicles are pre-production. So those will be crushed.

It's actually the car they used for the IIHS 40 MPH small overlap crash test. BMW must be making their fenders really strong now! Problem is the headlights were so bad the test dummy never even saw it coming.
