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.
- Request completion records for all VIN-applicable brake recalls.
- Verify the seat belt sensor recall repair.
- Ask about brake-assist problems and hydraulic or stability-control warnings.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
