[BMWCSRegistry] Dilemna

[Roger Beckham]

The one I put the most faith in is the one on the back of the top lip of the firewall, under the hood, facing the windshield on the passenger side. If the car has not been repainted in this area, the number will be in primer as if taped over when the body was painted.  It is extremely hard to alter this stamped number.  The other tags are removable, but this one is part of the body and can not be removed without cutting or grinding.

  A year ago I bought a very nicely restored, re-engined (by Bill Merriken)  
  5-speed 2800CS.  What I didn't do is check the under-hood vin tag against the vin# on the seller's title.  They don't match!

  All the documentation I've been able to dig up (going back to a 1998 Calfornia title) shows the vin# to be 2280389, but the car tag reads 2280386.

  Colorado (where I bought the car) "verified" that the vin# is 2280389, but New Mexico, where I live, is having none of it.

  Anyone know what I should do now?
