Recalls: check by VIN
NHTSA files recalls for the BMW 525xi under individual trim or body names rather than "525xi", so we can't match them automatically. Enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for the definitive list. The owner complaints below are matched correctly.

I HAVE HAD 8 BENT RIMS AND HAD TO REPLACE 5 TIRES DUE TO MULTIPLE BUBBLES IN EACH TIRE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2010. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. *KB
