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 wheel bolt and rear suspension control arm recall completion.
- Confirm backup camera recall work and check image operation.
- Request a child seat anchor inspection and parking brake service 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.
