I have a MT LLC for cars I keep in CA as I live in PA. It worked well for an E92 M3 US-spec car. It has not been successful with my 94 M3 I imported from Japan. MT required me to get a local (CA) vin verification and have the title translated. I went to the DMV for the VIN verification, and they indicated that one of the digits is different than their data shows for a 94 BMW. So then I had to take the paperwork to CHP to have them physically verify the VIN. That process is a convoluted mess. They operate on appointment only, and they release the following month's appointments on one day the prior month. You have to go stand in line and hope you get an appointment, then have to come back for it and hope the officer plays ball. I've been unsuccessful in over a year.

Really only need to find an officer to look at my VIN, verify it on a MT form, and show proof of their credentials. Haven't been lucky so far.
