I began the process of buying a new BMW in december 2015. Now that I can devote time to the process, I called BMW westchester, ny and told I can not order my new BMW due to the 2013 BMW having a recall. There is no remedy for faulty airbags at this time. Therefore I am stuck with a BMW that is now financed by BMW, that has airbags that could explode at anytime. This airbag issue has been going on since 2014............BMW needs to be proactive!!!!!!!!
