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 the exhaust-fastener fire-risk recall.
- Request brake power-assist and integrated-brake recall repair records.
- Confirm VIN applicability and completion of knee-airbag recalls.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
