All BMWs on "factory" lease programs are titled to BMW FS, as are BMW
financed reposessions.  Company cars are titled to BMW NA.  BMW FS
executives may drive cars titled to BMW FS but BMW FS is in Hilliard, Ohio,
not South Carolina.  I suspect your car is simply a retail customer lease
car most likely bought at auction.  Cheer-up.  At least it came from a
relatively salt-free southern state not known for acid rain.  Some of my
best friends are from South Carolina!

If you just recently bought this car, what do you think the likelyhood of a
BMW executive driving a 4-year-old car is?  What did your dealer call it?

If you need to know more, call the selling dealer.
