Oh, for a minute there I thought they were recalling the 1M... which is still selling at or near MSRP.

Huh. I've got an '07 328i, so I guess I'll be hearing from them.

I'm good. I got rid of my POS 2008 535xi in 2011. Most disappointing car I've ever owned, actually, it would have been fun to watch it burn to the ground.

After 2 years, I received the notice that parts are now available to fix the final air bag on our 2011 X5.

I'm going in the morning to have the adaptive headlights fixed under warranty and will see if my 335d is affected.

We took my wife'08 for the airbag recall, they told her that there were other issues for 5grand . We say no thank you, including things that I fixed recently , total bs . To begin with the car doesn't work 5 grand .
The same day we picked it up we started having issues . The weirdest one was a water hose clamp popped as she was driving it the next day. I never see a clamp popped before , now it's leaking like crazy . None of that before taking it in.

Sabotage ?

Were there any for your year? The one in the post above only applies to 2006-2011, and I hadn't heard about any issues with the newer models.

Airbag recall

This isn't the first large recall BMW has done...
