Recall Notice

[ChrisHC]

I have just had a recall for my 2001 330 Ci relating to a problem with the passenger airbag. I am amazed to have a recall for such an old car, but it does sound a potentially serious problem. Anyone else had one?

About half the world has. It's a problem with a particular make of airbag, used by many manufacturers, for many years, where it's been discovered that they go off with too much force, resulting in them being a safety hazard instead of a safety enhancer.

Had it
Got it done

Don't let them do anything else including wash your car

The airbag manufacturer has had problems with that model in other manufacturer vehicles so as a precaution BMW are changing that range fitted to E46 models, quite quick to do we usually do them as waiting jobs, takes longer to get it through the wash bay

tell me about it

i still use the parts dept there only because the guys there are spot on. I make a point of giving the service manager a dirty look every time i see him

This will make you laugh, around September last year, i went there in the e24. Once i was all done i walked outside and the cunt was out side looking at it with one of the other service guys

i asked him if he wanted to give it a courtesy service wash, his face dropped

I'd have given him a courtesy service wash. The caaant!

I had mine done last week and I had read this first so it did not get washed and also the "free health check" was by-passed as well.
There are no free lunches in this world.
