    E46 Recall Vin check

    I'm looking to purchase a e46 m3 and I had called the dealer to see if the rod bearing recall had been done or not. They told me that there are no open recalls so he doesn't know if it has been done. Can anyone that has access check for me?

    Last 8 are 2JR14510

    Better yet, would carfax tell me?

    I am in the market for a M3 as well... Would it be possible to check if this car had the rod bearing recall done, if it does not fall under the production date, or if it qualified, but never had it done?
    I don't want to purchase a car if it may potentially have issues. VIN number is:

    WBSBL93492JR13414


    Thanks in advance...

    Do you know if the 2008 650i had this same problem. I swear sometimes it sounds like a slight rod knock at idle? thanks for your help.

    Need to know.

    Potentially going to purchase an E46 M3 with this VIN:

    WBSBL93441JR11536

    Can anyone shed some light if, it's had the service action done, qualifies for the service action, or does not fall into the category (IE is not affected)

    Thanks in advance!

    i would suspect that the ones says yes are tech or wrk at BMW dealer and are using BMW log in to check for the recall info. When i worked for BMW, I could also look up info. BUt most dealers will tell you the serv hist of teh car if you take the car by there and ask. They may not give you a copy due to the personal info

    the prob with this is there is also personal info on there as customer full name (or whose name BMW last had of registered owner) and address.

    The dealer needs to look at the work history attach to the report, it was my understanding all m3's had the recall. The rod bearing recall would have been done a long time ago
