And if you or anyone else here is interested, a nice looking 2005 black 4.4 with, it appears, truffelbroun sportsitze just came on the market in my 'work' neighborhood. On craigslist at 2005 BMW X5 4.4i ***11,500***
Nope, not mine, but reasonably priced if in as good a condition as it looks.

Sorry to see your X in this condition but glad that you are OK.
I'm surprised that the passenger side airbag did not deploy nor the A-pillar airbags.

Even though I sold my X, I still check back here every once in a while and just saw this thread. I'm sad to see another 4.8is gone, but glad to see you made it out alive. Good luck with the part out!

The passenger bag didn't go off because the seat sensor knew it was empty, the A-pillar airbag didn't because the impact force direction and/or deployment threshold was not reached.

Oh my God, I wasn't checking the forum for a few days and look what happened!!!
dude, I am glad that you are ok... like everyone else here, i think that piece of metal can be replaced, even though one gets attached to a car... If I were running a BMW dealership, I would have searched out cars like yours and would put them up for a display along with the owner's story - best advertisement there is for the marque safety... It is hard to replace an E53, especially in "is" trim with something of similar stance - but what do you have in plans for the next ride? an E70? F15? or something entirely different?..

I'm with Fariz on this one. The photos alone sell the safety. I'm literally about to get my wife an E70 or E83 just because of the safety factor. I can't imagine she would have fared well in that crash with her Rav4....

How does bmw assist work? Is it something that's a subscription only? Or all x5s that came with it haves it?
