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 all VIN-applicable brake-system recalls.
- Request knee-airbag and instrument-panel airbag recall repair records.
- Ask about brake, hydraulic, and stability-control warnings and repair 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.
