I just spoke with my dealer again, still "no parts available".
Interesting to hear that some are getting them replaced though it sounds like the replacements are not a new part number. The same (faulty) airbag just a new unit... |

I didn't mean to be a squeaky wheel it was just that both my cars are under the recall and I have kids too. So it's probably true that if you ask they will do something but it will probably depend on where you are located. Older cars from hot and humid climates get top priority. Just sharing my experience. |

Yes. Top level. I actually called them about 1M airbag because I don't get recall notices since 1M is Canadian. She told me not to worry 1M is newer and not from hot climate. I only have to worry about older cars so I said what about my 2003 330i from South Carolina. She said oh! If it was me I wouldn't drive it and to contact my dealer and they would get me a newer airbag. I feel better now because I carry kids in 330i anyway. Yes, I would definitely get your daughters car updated! Good luck!

As an FYI, any BMW with the recall on it, cannot be sold by a BMW dealer until the part is replaced. So here is how it works if you have a BMW with a recalled airbag...
1. Dealer takes your car in on trade and then gets on a priority wait list for the part. They will get the part - not right away, but they will get it. My dealer said it sometimes is a month or two - maybe three. 2. Dealer has to sit on your car during that time - they are no longer compensated by BMW for this. so... 3. Dealer will low ball your trade, because they are stuck with a car they can NOT sell until it is fixed. For me, that was an offer of $52,000 on a 1M with 4,000 miles. Kind of glad they did that, cause I still have the car and cannot wait to drive it!

I just got mine replaced with the final version today. I was told that there are not enough new ones for a public release. Instead they are prioritizing Gulf state cars as we discussed. I did not specifically request it. I called them because I am not receiving recall notices due to an issue with BMW's system. They cannot fix it immediately so they told me they would give me the fix now so I don't get missed due to the notification issue. The sent the new bag to my dealer and just drove home with it. So it's nice to know the fix is in albeit in limited supply.

air bag recall
I am in British Columbia Canada and I have a bmw 135i, 2013. The dealer told me I could make an appointment for March and it will be done. I have an appointment for March 6, so we will see if it happens.

Cool. As I said the risk is with older hot climate and high humidity cars so they will probably do 2008 2009 1 series before 2011 1Ms

Just got my letter stating that they have the airbag, now I just have to schedule the appointment.
I rarely drive mine so I didn't care how long it was going to take |
