First, I have never had a problem having a dealer do a recall check on any car I've ever owned, warranty or not. Second, like I said before, the chance that an actual recall that applied to a specific car wasn't performed at this point in the life cycle of the car is pretty rare. Third, your list isn't even remotely a complete one. You queried a generic database, not BMW's database. Your database wouldn't include things that improvements, tips, software changes, etc. So if you think that that is it, then you are dead wrong.
Way back when I was on the market for a 4.8is I checkout out a bunch of sites on specific vehicles and it wasn't until I had a dealer run the VIN for me that I found out that specific car was eligible, and in need, of a complete new engine.

Also, if you believe the dealer will check for you voluntarily for open campaigns you are stoned. You have to ask to check if there is any open campaigns and once the car is out of warranty most car owners will not go to a dealer for repairs.
