occupant...Owner notification is expected to begin during october, 1998..." The heater core rupture which scalded me occurred in july, 1998, which was months before notification from the manufacturer was to begin. Thus, I was not forewarned and to this date I still have not been notified and I have not been able to negotiate relief from bmw. Please have a representative contact me for more details concerning this, the invalid vin on the car (only 7 digits), explanation of the breakdown of the price submitted for reimbursement, the heater core manufacturer's liability, etc. Please give a representative's name and address that I may also send a letter to further clarify this horrific situation. Your timely response is requested and greatly appreciated. Thank you, mr. Ben watson. *Ak
