| On 14 september 2008 i was involved in a motor vehicle accident involving my 2004 bmw 330ci convertible. we had a vehicle run a left turn red light into us as we were passing through the intersection in kent wa. i estimate the impact was probably equivalent to a 50 to 60 mph collision. it was observed that the air bags did not deploy but the roll over roll bar did. with the recall of air bags for the bmw i think it may also apply to the 2004 3 series also. if the airbags would have deployed it may have eliminated some aches and pains that we are suffering from. there were no serious injuries. damage to the bmw involved the front bumper, hood, and other damage to radiator for a total of about 4300. i will be checking with bmw as to what speed should the air bags deploy. *tr | |||

| While driving my 2004 bmw 330i, the driver's side door air bag spontaneously deployed. no accident, no collision, no pot hole. nothing to explain the deployment. the dealership first claimed, there was a collision. when it was discerned there was no evidence of a collision, their story was there was a 'pot hole' hit. after describing the smooth driving conditions on the street this occured, their story was the vehicle went 'air-borne'. all of the dealerships conclusions were supposed to be based on computer evidence. once i realized i was going to get nowhere with the dealership, i decided to take my car and go home. i was injured in the left side when the door panel blew open and the bag deployed. my evidence, was my in-vehicle consierge (which i had no longer subscribed to) came on via my radio to note that they have noted a deployment of an airbag and inquired whether i was allright, and what were my needs: i.e., an ambulance, tow truck etc. | |||
