Guessing the car was turned in as a lease back to the dealer and it was put on an auction?

It could be a lease (most likely) or a vehicle used for BMW business. If it was a lease, they have to disclose that.

If its a vehicle that BMW used then it will come with an MSO title instead of a regular title (like a new car). Usually these vehicles have very low miles on them (~10k) and they are pretty scarce. I have bought a couple in the past and usually they are fantastic deals.
