Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Confirm VIN-specific completion of the reverse gear overheating recall.
3. Request transmission recall documentation and ask about gear engagement problems.
4. Ask about steering symptoms, repairs, and the supporting service records.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
