Used 2022 BMW X2 buyer's checklist

  1. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. No recalls on file, but check anyway.
  2. Fuel/Propulsion System — 1 owner reports. Smell for fuel around the car and in the cabin, check that it starts easily when warm, and look at the oil dipstick for a fuel smell or rising level.
  3. Power Train — 1 owner reports. Test-drive through all gears, including reverse; note slipping, harsh or delayed shifts.
  4. Suspension — 1 owner reports. Drive over bumps and listen for clunks; look for uneven tire wear.
  5. Before you pay: service records, a history report and an independent inspection.
