Detailed Vehicle History Definitions:
First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
Lease
When someone leases a car from a dealer, the dealer actually sells the vehicle to a leasing company. The leasing company then collects payments for the vehicle from the new owner for 24, 36, 48 or more months. A leasing company can be an independent car dealer or a car manufacturer.
New Owner Reported
When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles.
Private Use
Vehicle was registered by the owner for private or personal use.
Salvage Auction Record
Most vehicles sold at Salvage auctions were declared totaled by insurance companies. Most of these vehicles have sustained significant damage but there are some exceptions. For instance, recovered stolen vehicles are often declared a total loss regardless of the actual damage. Rebuilders and Recyclers purchase these vehicles at auction with intentions to rebuild them or dismantle them for parts.
Salvage Title
A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a Total Loss by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following ten States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.

your bimmer got smoked 
here's a tip... a friend and I have been searching high and low for clean sedan and hatch Civics... of all years fron 2003 back. We've FOUND NOTHING clean to my disappointment. I have ended up consulting him to buy a less popular car, but one just as reliable. Toyota Corolla.
Reason being, easier to find unmodded, unsalvaged cars with unmolested bodies, etc. Anytime you buy a Honda, BMW, Audis... you are really playing odds that are against you. Instead, perhaps look for a Mercedes. The demographics of M-B drivers are such to allow more unmolested cars to survive the urban battle. Just a tip...
