An auto transporter ship, with hundreds of new BMW cars went down in the English channel several years ago. It was successfully salvaged and the fascinating salvage story is here: http://www.tricolorsalvage.com/pages/infographic.asp Cheers,

Thought all the BMW cars were still at the bottom of the channel!

I thought I read that by law they could keep whatever was recovered from the beach as long as they report what they recovered to some agency. I do wonder how much water contaminated the bikes.
