Damage incurred during shipping?
It seems damage during shipping is not unheard of from a couple of threads that I saw. Bumpers getting scraped and I recall one guy had a hood damaged among other things. Are these isolated incidents or not? Who covers the damage done during shipping? Harms, I guess? I hate the thought of picking up my car at redelivery and find some sort of damage. Almost makes me want to reconsider doing ED. But the thought of being able to drive on the autobahn and visit Germany and pick up my "baby" at his birthplace is very hard to pass up on...

damaged during shipment is covered under the ed purchase. if u dropped the car off clean at harms, then there should be nothing to worry about. when i took redelivery it was in the condition i dropped it off, near perfect. there should be nothing to worry about and even if there is damage during transit it will probably be fixed before you find out about it. the incidents u mentioned above on scratched bumper and damaged hood, they probably either failed to file a gerhling insurance claim or minor enough to be overlooked at by vpc. these are very rare circumstances that should not be a major concern to you. i had the same questions before i decided to do ed as u.

Clearly, a shipping agent is not in the position of providing insurance (they are not even the transporter, e.g. Wallenius or NYK which BMW engages separately). Marine insurance from your insurer covers the shipping portion of the journey.
