And of course what do I happen to have?? A 2006 X5!

Way to go BMW!

And all this time I was telling my fiance that her "airbag off" light was lit up because she was such a lightweight. And that BMW's super-duper advanced electronics were sensing light body weight, and turning off the airbag to prevent injury.

This is my first BMW, and I have to say: as impressed as I am with the main drivetrain (engine, transmission, steering), I am conversely APPALLED at the low quality and workmanship of some of the remaining components.
For example, on a less-than-2-year old vehicle I have had headlight housing condensation 3 separate times, requiring numerous trips to the dealer, with bulbs and turn signals going out.
