Before you buy
- 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.
- Confirm applicable brake-fluid cap labeling corrections.
- Check front brake leakage and brake repair history.
- Verify gearbox shaft recall completion and ask about shifting faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
