Airbag Question

[Banana]

I noticed on real OEM that there are 2 airbag part numbers for the 2004+ sport steering wheel. Does anyone know if these 2 airbags are different, would it matter which one I purchase?

Both part numbers are:

32306762961 (2004-2005)
32303413930 (middle 2005 - 2006)

Thanks.

If you are simply replacing an airbag on a existing sport wheel, use the part that corresponds with the build date. If you are doing a complete retrofit of a steering wheel and airbag replacing an older, outdated g button wheel, either would probably suffice.

From an appearance standpoint, the two airbags appear identical. The steering wheel for both are identical. The electrical adapter for both are identical. I think you're okay with either, but maybe somebody here has more knowledge or you can check with the BMW parts counter to see if they know.

Thanks for your reply. I spoke with a BMW parts guy and he tends to think the connections are a little different and said it's best to match the wheel with the correct airbag. Thanks.
