The Saab's and Volvo's will be OK as they are well rustproofed, but they might as well leave the BMW's down there. I read recently that more BMW 3 series are scrapped each year, because of rust, than Sierra's. I do know that Ford were dismayed at Land-Rover's build quality when they bought L-R, despite L-R having been brought up to BMW's standard.

Surely there'll be many salavageable parts which can still be used won't there ?

It won't be the only BMW hardware lying around in that particular spot. About sixty years ago, a lot more was dumped there, courtesy of the RAF

Why would RHD BMWs be going to Southampton? I thought all BMWs came into UK via Hull/Immingham to their distribution and preparation centre at Thorne, near Doncaster. I've seen comments on a US BMW website that suggests that the BMWs were destined for there, many of them as part of the BMW European Delivery system, where customers get to collect them from Munich, drive around Europe for a few days, then have them shipped to USA.

not good news all round. Our insurance premiums will go up as a result. Maybe minutely but it all counts
