The German company said the recall was due to a failure in the braking energy system, but the cars were not safe.
The problem is leaks that may develop in the braking system.
A BMW spokesman said today:''We are writing to all affected property owners asking them to arrange a service appointment.
''There have been no accidents or injuries.''
Recall the UK is part of a global recall of 340,000 vehicles announced by BMW. This includes about 200,000 vehicles in North America.
The company said that a leak could develop in the electric braking system, which leads to a loss of vacuum and reduced power assist braking.
Mechanical braking is still available to slow and stop the vehicle, BMW said.
The company said that drivers who experienced a reduction in power assist braking should make an appointment for service immediately.
The withdrawal of BMW follows a series of recalls in recent months by Toyota participation of a number of different problems affecting around nine million vehicles worldwide.
