What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 BMW 335I. While driving 50-55 MPH, the contact swerved to avoid another vehicle, but crashed into a parked vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact sustained injuries to the back, neck, and head, which required medical attention. A police report was filed. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was 125,000. The VIN was invalid.
Have not heard back from dealer for air bag recall. Car is also producing smoke in engine bay and strong smell of burning through vents is present. Receive notice of recall for blower motor wiring but the car is definitely well in need of recall service as smoke is very visible and burnin order is very apparent in engine bay and through vents.
