There is a non-USA BMW that was impounded last week here in the denver area.
He was trying to get it accepted for almost 2 years.  The vehicle was
basically just surrendered after the owner gave up on the hassle.  The
vehicle was never US EPA or Canadian certified or type classed from what I
was told.  Don�t know how he got it to the US other than probably on a ship.

 Colorado has also recently tightened its titling requirements for vehicles
with no previous title noting a certificate of origin.  This was coordinated
with the Mexican and Canadian gvts.  Wondering what incident set that one
off.
