The vehicle was manufactured by BMW AG in Germany. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model and year: recall 20V243000 concerns the driver and passenger head-air-bag inflators, which may have been affected by excessive humidity and could deploy improperly in a sufficiently severe crash. BMW’s specified remedy was replacement of the affected head air bag at no charge. The completion status for this particular vehicle should be verified with BMW or through an authorized dealer before purchase. Because of the visible front-end and windshield damage, a comprehensive inspection should also cover the cooling system, lighting, wiring, restraint systems, structural components, and proper operation of all safety features.
