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 completion of windshield-leak and exhaust-fastener fire-risk recalls.
- Request records for every VIN-applicable brake-system recall.
- Ask about brake-assist changes, stability-control warnings, and related repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
