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.
- Obtain VIN-specific fuel rail recall completion records.
- Have the fuel rail inspected for leakage or cracking.
- Verify driver air bag recall completion and check warning-light history.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
