Seems like this hits me, too.

Now if they would only fix the sedan ZKW headlights. :)

Here too but I just called them and they said nothing about the recall on my car.

From my experience working at a dealership, they typically will not get any repair/inspection details until a few weeks after the initial reports are found online.

I'm not sure if this should be posted in this general chat but I was reading autoblog and saw this.

http://www.autoblog.com/2013/05/06/bmw-adds-42k-3-series-models-to-massive-airbag-recall/


On the heels of the massive airbag recall just last month, which included a total of 3.4 million Japanese automobiles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda, German automaker BMW has announced that it will recall 42,000 of its 2002-03 3 Series models (E46 platform) for the same problem. The recall is blamed on a single defective part, all from the same supplier, which may cause the airbag to catch fire or send metal fragments towards passengers in the front seats. BMW spokesman Dave Buchko told the Detroit News that the automaker knows of no improper "deployments or injuries related to this issue in any BMW."

I'm waiting to hear more information from BMW.

Oh, lol. I posted a thread on this earlier, and I thought you were referring to my placement.

Funny thing is I searched the forum for airbag and didn't come up so I posted. I didn't expect it in troubleshooting lol. It's late night Internet. It never is good.

First I've heard of it. Delete post if this is already well known.

So... I'm right in the middle of this with MY. I'm not the original owner either.

I take it just call up the local dealership?

[Avetiso]

If you are registered with BMW as the owner I believe they will notify you.

It will likely take a few weeks for dealers to start scheduling the fixes anyway, I would wait a little while.
