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 fuel pump and starter overheating recall completion by VIN.
- Request seat hardware, head airbag, and wheel bolt recall records.
- Confirm ABS, camera, and sunroof repairs; review electrical and engine 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.
