I think these cars were orphans almost from the get go. I am not sure what the service arrangements were beween Lincoln and BMW but I heard a story where a non-running vehicle was flat-bedded back and forth multiple times between the two dealers each saying the problem was the others. If I remember correctly some part in the wiring harness fried. Neither dealer had the part listed and thus refused to deal with it. Also the car is rare - a mechanic acquaintance said 6 were sold in the entire Chicagoland area. He said he worked on them all as he was one of the few guys who would tackle them. Yes, a rare car but parts and support would be quite an adventure.
