So BMW let me know that my parts for my E92 M3 for the airbags are in. Maybe for the AC blower motor too?

What are they going to do my car? Are they going to just replace the steering wheel? Only the vinyl part? Remove my entire dash to replace the passenger bag too?

I am curious what will change on my car or if they will have it for like a week.

Also, thanks for being excellent. I made the mistake of discussing a topic on the Front Page about a recent repair I made on the M3 and a dozen folks told me their buddy Cletus could’ve fixed it faster, better and cheaper as well as keeping it to Warranty specs...sigh...one even said they didn’t believe that part would cost that much as they replaced the transmission in a Dodge Caravan for cheaper. Erm...le sigh...

Believe they’re just going to replace the center airbag in your steering wheel. You’ll keep the wheel. Don’t believe the passenger airbag was ever part of the recall.

As far as the blower wiring, not sure. It’s been done in both my cars, they might have had to pull the dash apart to get to it.

Also, I got my car back same day.

All I have to say to this is lol.

Lots of the ones I see are just the inflator, or the inflator and bag, or the whole assembly. Depends on the car.

I know not BMW, sorry.

So, point it at the HPFP or Dual Vanos?

Ah yeah, on an M3 that would be it, wouldn’t it? HPFP would be for the 335.
