airbag problems?

I just brought my 325xi in because my airbags decided to deploy after i poped my front right tire. I was turning around in a parking lot and hit a pothole that basically took the tire off of the rim totalling the rim and tire but then my side airbags went off with no impact while i was still moving. now i am stuck having to pay $4000 Cdn to replace the airbags and side pannels because of a malfunction, if anyone has had any problems with the airbags please share your story and help me get out of paying $4000 because my airbags malfuctioned.

Re: airbag problems?

did u purchase the bimmer from a BMW dealer? Seems like a malfuntion, and if you got it from a dealer and hopefully it is still under warranty and you can get it replaced under that.

Re: airbag problems?

this ridiculous. of course it can fail, its just like anything else. if it did not fail, than bimmers would not have a check system for the airbag system.

i know i have an older bimmer, but my airbag system is malfunctioning, however its in such a way that it will never deploy. . .

try calling this number - 201 573-2188, and speak to Chuck Winik; or send an e-mail to:

They had a problem with the Instrument Clusters and these were the people to contact.

Maybe they can help you with your airbag problem.

Good Luck ! ! !
