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.
- Verify brake-light operation and applicable cap labeling corrections.
- Inspect front brake leakage and review brake repair records.
- Confirm final-drive pivot pin and gearbox shaft recall completion.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
