No way they could have imported the car here without that letter and gone through the RIV process.
I never sent my recall clearance letter to BMW Canada and I highly doubt the BMW dealer in the US I bought the car from did. They were pretty clueless about the process. Unless RIV did it for me no way it got sent. I have already had warranty work done to the car here in Canada and had no issues.
You sure the VIN is legit?

Now you've got me scared. The dealer I bought the car from wasn't the same one that brought the car over, so I don't think fault lies with them.
BMW Canada has no record of this car ever being serviced in Canada meaning that this car was brought over and never brought in to a dealership. They don't have records of a clearance letter, which would make sense.
Where can I find the RIV sticker? I will call BMW USA to see what they say, good idea.
You had warranty work done on your imported car without using a recall letter? Please tell me how because all I want is to have warranty work done, only reason I need this letter.
How would I know if the VIN is legit?
