Oh man.. just read this! Glad your okay and speedy recovery!! My wife always says our X5 will save us one day!!

Thanks for the words everyone. Assist is a sub based service, but I think during an emergency, they will come on. I didn't subscribe to the service, but one time I was cleaning the inside and hit the SOS button and an operator came online. I apologized for the mistake. Then with the accident, apparently they came one and gave rescue my GPS coordinates and dispatched EMS and police. SO in an emergency, it will work, but if you are asking for directions or for them to make dinner reservations, I think they will tell you you don't have that service.

The seat sensors and accelerometers define the airbag deployment pattern.

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.

Hey TTGTR!

Been away and just saw this. Glad you're ok and recovering. Faith and prayers are always good copliots!
Another check mark for BMW safety....and what the wife and I will keep in the garage!

God speed and let us know what your next joy ride will be!

Wow what a bummer! SO Glad you are OK! The E53s are like tanks and people live to tell about it, thank God you weren't driving anything else but a BMW!

Power folding mirrors or at least the power window switch that has the power folding button? I recently got cabinets in the garage that have tightened things up enough so that I'm tired of getting out every time to make sure I clear on the passenger side :D

Hey, Sorry but the mirrors and the switch have been sold. Hopefully the other inquiries you put out still have the assemblies.

Thanks.

Dang! Just saw this. Glad you're okay man. It's not your time. Sorry to hear and too bad about the X.

Hope everything else is good with you and that you'll still come to Bimmerfest East on Aug 2nd.

Keep in touch!

Jose

Wow! I saw the part out thread, but just now seeing the what really happened thread. God bless you! I'm glad you're okay and I'm sorry you lost your car. You are truly a blessed man! It's very honorable what you have done for the community. Not to hijack, but we had a drunk driver to t-bone us in 06 in our camry and made it out alive really terrible (found my son a block away ejected from vehicle, husband lifeflighted), so I know how you feel and my heart goes out to you and your family.

Gives me chills. Unlucky when you think of losing your 4.6. Lucky when you are there to say goodbye.
