I'm in Canada aswell. I also bought my car used. When I purchased my car I called BMW Canada and I confirmed with them that I am the owner of the car now. You will need to call BMW Canada and they will need your VIN.

like what the other posted said, you can sign up at BMWUSA.com and register your VIN to bmw to be the current owner. not sure about Canadia tho, might have to call for that one.

Oh, the also replaced that cable on my car - said that it was corroded through: $269 + $85 + $48 = $402 - wanna bet that it's covered by the recall? Even if the dealer tries to deny it?
