That must cost a fortune to recycle like that, and the guys were working for BMW it seemed?

Just read more about it.

I would imagine BMW are pretty much up there with anyone else when it comes to their archive. Their museum in Munich is rammed and I'm sure their backup collection is bigger again if anything. We know they have items like the V12 Z3 and I assume they kept the last one off the production line too.
I guess they can't keep everything that's all. And it's a shame they can't do something more creditable with those recycled cars. But the fallout from letting thrashed/sub-standard cars go out just wouldn't be worth it.
