Why's that?

Because the airbags aren't available, or because they can't be bothered to fix your old POS car?

Not available.

They'd love my car, would be a nice boost to their numbers for sure.

I got a letter for the driver's side airbag this week. Dealership has ordered parts.

Not BMW, but Tesla is impacted as well. So far, they've only recalled 2012 production. I have a 2013, so expect notice sometime in the next 6 months or so (the 2012 notices went out in Jan or so this year…)

I think I have purged all the affected cars from my fleet. But who really knows what airbags BMW put in from 2016 on...
