Airbag removal on an E70

[e70jane]

Just out of curiosity, how does the passenger airbag come off?

Dashboard has to come out. With that is iDrive screen, part of center console trim, etc

Need to have my passenger done under recall. Dreading them having the dash apart and messing it up.

Are we talking about the entire dashboard?

I spent most of yesterday studying diagrams, pictures and watched I don't know how many movies of people removing the entire dash from e70's to see if I could find it for you and I STILL don't know exactly where the passenger side airbag is.

Found a bunch of pics of what one looks like but nothing on where it actually is in the dash.

Look at 1:25 of this video. The passenger side airbag is in the top of the dash right up against the windshield. It even blows out the front windshield when deployed.

The whole dash has to come out including steering wheel. I replaced airbags in my X5 after an accident, these are the only 2 pictures i took at the time.
