Anyone has any idea on whether BMW started to buy used E70 X5 between 2006 and 2009?
I remember that those E70 are prohibited from sold by BMW in the US due to airbag issue.... So BMW wont buy the car from you. Talk about destroying value in our cars... |

They are focusing on cars in more humid climates...apparently the humidity exacerbates the issue

My used E90 M3 bought in August at the BMW dealer already had the airbag swap done prior to my purchase.

I'm told by my local BMW dealer that BMW is now manufacturing their own airbags. They just replaced the airbag in my 2003 M5. BMW does seem to be working through this, albeit slowly. It is a major issue and will take time.

Guess I was fortunate. Both the passenger and driver side airbags have been replaced on my 2005 e46. It took nearly 3 years...but made sure the parts department at my local dealer knew I was needing these and they actively called me when the parts arrived.

Shit, just realized my 2001 bmw had this issue, and i got in an accident that the side airbag sliced my arm, not a big deal, but could have been worse. Wow

Takata at fault

This recall will take years to fulfill. The dealers want to fix the cars--trust me. We get paid to turn wrenches.

You can switch brands in protest but 19 other car manufacturers are in the same boat.

This is a very complex development because the propellant used by Takata combusts so differently from competitors yet you have a full validation to meet the same requirements for performance plus all of the class A approvals, etc. I don't know about the E46 replacements, but I know the E9X replacements are being developed with a different inflator provider. Most quick replacement recalls were "like for like" resetting the clock with an inflator that would have to be replaced again later. Plus there's the regional prioritization based on the data. Though as we're coming up on 10 years vehicle age it's becoming more and more pressing.

Get an E90 specific hub from Momo - Turner sells and price matched it (to ECS) and was around $92. Comes with airbag resistor so no fault codes.
Buy any wheel you want for your needs (some wheels may need a hub to wheel adapter plate for bolt pattern), OMP, MOMO, Sparco, etc. Don't buy the street style stuff, they flex way too much - around 250-300. Was pretty easy to install.
