Airbag recall on e46!

Just had my letter. Seeing as mine is a 2006 car, perhaps they did the letters in order of manufacture date?
The first wave of recalls will be for cars that were known to have been produced at the exact same time as cars that have suffered confirmed failures/faults.The next wave will be for cars closest to the production period, and so on and so on.
A lot of the recalls for later cars will simply be a "belts and braces" effort to cover cars that would probably never have the issue, but BMW are making sure they're covered, just in case.

scrap that - i had my letter today. although there's no parts available so a wait until mid january.......
I got the notice through a few days back. I will apparently be informed when parts are available.It'll be interesting to head over to the local BMW dealer and see what they're like. All the work I have done is handled by the local independents.

I checked mine against this website and decided I wasn't affected but got a letter yesterday.

The website implies its basically every E46 ever sold in the UK... and you have an E46 so not surprising you received a letter?Either I am a spaz or more are affected than on the website...

Same airbag supplier iirc, which is what has kicked off this recall. Must admit I'm quite impressed BMW have bothered with this recall on 10+ year old cars, I suspect many manufacturers may not have bothered. Pretty sure this has only come to light since the issues in the US, hence why they haven't mentioned it until now - as they didn't know it was an issue.
