No, If BMW is making you pay $500 for a recall letter then you are getting royally screwed.
I am not sure about BMW but they should have a website with a recall checker.
You should be able to simply type in your VIN # and it should come up saying if there are any recalls on that VIN#
You would need to go to the USA BMW site if you are buying from the US.
Just print it out and fax it or go to the RIV office with all your paperwork and they will accept it.
Thats what they did with my Triumph.
Heres an example of Triumphs recall checker.
