Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify starter-relay recall status and applicable park-outside instructions.
3. Request fuel-tank leak recall completion records.
4. Confirm brake-assist, headlight, and backup-camera recall repairs.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
