Takata Air Bag Recall Info: 2003-2004 X5s

[jsoto]

I was not so lucky....

2nd Go around. 6:30 appt.
Wait.

1st time around, I had my Do not wash Car signs on dashboard and cluster.
Totally forgot the 2nd time, as I was just focused on the SA not giving my a gripe and making me do a U turn again.

Got outta the shop at 9:20'ish.
They washed the truck with a fugg1n broom ;-(
Probably won't touch it till after the winter slush is gone.
Reseal with Reload and then Hydro top ups in the winter to hold it down.

How does your bag fit?

6:30-9:20, it took them three hours?

[jsoto]

It actually fits just as the previous. Maybe a slightly larger reveal on the right side but to be frank, I just looked at it front-forward and it did not seem to be to different. I did take note to look at it the day of service.

Could steering wheel potentially affect the overall perception ?
Currently running M3 tri stitch wheel..

Got a letter last week for my 01 3.0i Sport package, went to dealer and they replaced the airbag with a brand new one in just over an hour.

Very happy as my old one was missing a piece of leather from the old owner and my rondel was scratched.

Yep just had mine replaced today on the IS.

I get to go in and get bags done on 3 cars... The 01 auto m54 x5 does did not need the recall. The rest with the sport steering wheel do, except for the 545i.

Just got my airbag recall in the mail: '01 X, Sport, 5 speed.
Won't get to it until we get back to our Mtn home, in awhile...

My 'local' BMW dlr is near the AVL airport, about 45 mins from us, and unless that dlr has changed its stripes, it was never a pleasant experience there way back when I had ext maint on the car,
or the few times I have stopped in to look at new BMW cars.

It didn't appear that our car was on the previous list(s), but I guess it is/I misread the affected cars.

They keep adding stuff. Probably staggered to keep shock and aw down from how expansive this issue is.
