Hopefully PNA will handle the issue better than BMW did.

Im curious, how did BMW botch the handling of this. I worked at car dealers all through high school and saw a number of accidents from a kid who couldnt drive stick launching an E36 M3 across the wash bay into another car while owner was on the way to a lot tech destroying Corey Dillons rims on his bentley. Every time, the dealers insurance covers the wreck. Then again, that was for the repairs. Im sure this is only half the concern of the owner who has to now take back a wrecked car.
