i found some papers and warranty stuff in my owners manual book and on the warranty page it sais the purchase/delivery date which was 11.10.98 and it has the 1st owners name full street address home phone cell phone so its kind of cool i live in chicago i own this car and it was originaly from palm springs probably some doctor or some rich dude haha
also i found the window sticker at which the car was purchased for $74.600k

kind of off topic but i thought it was interesting how far and how they go around the country being sold to diff states

how many of you guys out there found info and papers like that that was left in your car ?? and do you know where it came from like what city or town when the 1st owner purchased the car ??

ii feel like just calling the guy and saying hey i own the car you use to own back in 99 or whatever but he probably tell me your weird dude hahahah

My 750 was first purchased in New Jersey was shipped to California one-year later. So from New Jersey to Brentwood California where it was serviced by Santa Monica BMW. Now in Glassell Park California.

Both the e38 and the e66 were lease returns out of Boca Raton Florida. I bought both of them at Perillo BMW in Chicago. Both cars were shipped to Chicago AFTER I requested them via the BMWUSA CPO locator program.

I bought my car in Rhode Island. It was sold originally at Inskip BMW, and then again at Inskip as a CPO. I bought it from a complete asshole and the worst dealership I have ever see, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. I should have gone anywhere but where I bought it, but I was in love and couldn't let it go :luvlove

Hey stockbottomend, my car wasn't even born yet when yours was first sold. Mine was manufactured on 11/24/98 and first sold on 2/27/99.

Mine was sold in Houston in 98. Then it moved to New Hampshire in 2006. Sold to me in August 2007. :)

Did you buy it in NH?

My car was born in 3/2000, sent to a dealer in chicago (can't remember the name off hand), then traded in to BMW of Westmont (chicago suburb) in 2005. That's where we fell in love and moved in togther in Indianapolis..hehe

Did you buy it in NH?

Nope. The previous owner bought it in NH and moved just north of Boston.

He bought it from a dealer. I bought it from him. Craigslist FTW!

Mine was bought brand new in SoCal, and then they moved to Tampa, then I bought it.

Mine is a Palm Springs car as well (fairly affluent SoCal community)...purchased at a Ferrari/Maserati dealership in Costa Mesa. Sometimes I feel like calling the gomer who owned it previously and ask him how the Motorola StarTac CPT telephone works now. One of the two kept it when they sold the car, along with the Owner's Manual.

At least they took care of the car otherwise....It's at 73K and still running very, very well.

This is the first picture I saw of her from the dealer: http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g22/Crewdog843/740irr.jpg

Bought mine from a High School buddy of mine. It was his 8th or 9th BMW, had approx. 15K miles on the Alusil engine which BMW replaced, then it was mine. This e32 was bought in Chicago, and is still in Chicago. Car now has 114K miles.

My 93 was first bought new in Ohio and that owner moved to Vegas to where he sold the car to the 2nd owner and he moved to Oregon to where i bought it.

My car was first sold in San Diego CA, until I bought it and now it lives with me in Simi Valley.

My 01 has done the zig zag from north to south twice but it has only had two owners in it's 7 years and 145k miles

Purchased/Leased in New Jersey Jan 01
Sold at the BMW auction in Houston Jan 04
I purchased it from Houston and shipped it to Seattle Feb 04
Drove from Seattle to Moorpark, CA in May of 05 where it resides now

The one thing that I wish I had is the original window sticker...

My '98 740i was first purchased by me and is in my garage 180k+.

My 92 was leased to the original "owner" from a dealer less than a mile from my house as the crow flies. I'm the 4th or 5th owner & bought it in 99 with 131k miles & a huge stack of service records. Put in the 5-spd 4 years ago at 161k. I have 180k miles on it now. No plans to replace it anytime soon & hope to get started on the 745i turbo transplant soon. It's been in Albuquerque its whole life.

just reading all of this its weird where our cars have been and where they end up
