BWM NA Exec. Cars

[SMILLER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Michael, I had a 1988 535i that had been a BMW NA exec. car.  The
dealer bought a bunch at auction.  When I bought it (with 12K miles), it
was sold as a used car.  It had previously been titled to BMW NA in New
Jersey.  However, it still came with the balance of the factory warranty. 
Just to be safe (who knows how they were broken in?), I also bought
an extended warranty.  The only time I needed the extended warranty, it
covered both parts of the steering system to which the bad part was
attached, but not the part that failed.  Oh well.
