Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was informed that there was an emissions recall for my 1995 bwm 540i. i contacted bmwusa to confirm the data and was informed that the vechicle was listed as a total lost and not covered. i registered the car with bmwusa when i purchased it in 1999 and was not informed that the car was listed as totalled. what avenues do i take to get the car activated again in the system? the car is insured, but what would happen if i have an accident and the car is already listed as a total lost? i purchased the vechicle in 1999 unaware that i would encounter problems of this nature. it seems as though bmwusa would had informed me of this problem when i registered the vechicle with them in november, 1999.*ak
