They have not had any parts to service the recall any time i have taken my car in for repairs or have called about the recall.

At approximately 4:45 p.M. Ct on friday, september 30, 2016, i was driving my 1998 bmw m3 convertible home from work. I was on state highway 75 in tulsa, oklahoma, heading south. I don't have a specific recollection of my speed at that exact moment, but would estimate it to be in the area of 55-60 miles an hour, as there was some traffic, but it was not heavy. I was in the right-hand lane on a part of the highway where there is no curb. I did not swerve off the shoulder. Tulsa roads are notoriously bad, but this particular stretch of highway was repaved relatively recently. My passenger door airbag deployed spontaneously. I was not involved in a collision. I did not have a flat tire. Bmw of north america has assured me that the airbag operated appropriately and there must have been some stimulus to cause its detonation. I struggle to accept that there was any stimulus at that speed that would cause detonation of just one airbag without causing some damage to the vehicle.
