I agree.
Accidents involving high speeds into stationary objects would provide a number of deaths equal to 50%. Better to take the 1% chance of Air Bag failure. (if that is a true results of engineering bench tests of returned air bags.) I would just drive and not worry...

On July 11th BMW released a Q&A PDF. I can only see it after checking my vin with the open campaign. I'll try and copy the link address and see if that works.

Looks like BMW is developing replacement bags with another supplier. Perhaps there is hope after all.

I have not received a letter. I wouldn't expect a replacement for a long while since they are developing a new bag with a new supplier.

I am the original owner of the car. In the packet, also was a card to submit back for the *next owners * info to be updated if need be. Don't have the packet in front of me right now, but I suspect for those not being the original owners, you may not be receiving this letter, unless u bought this CPO from a dealer as well ? ?

I have read posts that say BMW uses DMV records in each state to issue letters to current registered owners. Whether that is true or not I do not know.

I received a notification from BMW yesterday that my 2003 4.6is Driver side air bag is recalled. They don't have the parts yet and I'll receive another notification when they are ready.
