Buying a used 2018 BMW M240I? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 2 owner complaints on file

Two recalls apply, both below the critical tier: a high-severity crankshaft sensor fault shared with MINI that can stall the engine, and a medium-severity 2-Series and X3 instrument display that may not light up. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. The NHTSA complaint record is minimal — 2 unverified owner reports, no crashes, fires or injuries — under electrical system and exterior lighting. Stalling is the drivability item that stands out.

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. Ask whether the crankshaft sensor recall was performed and get the VIN printout
3. Ask the seller if the car has ever stalled or cut out while driving
4. Start it cold and confirm the instrument cluster and all exterior lights work
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.
