NO DOUBT FRONT AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. CAR HAD BEEN INTO DEALER TWICE IN LAST 3 MONTHS WITH A COMPLAINT THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS STAYING ON. VEHICLE IS TOTALLED, DRIVER (MY SON) INJURIED. WE HAVE CONTACTED BMW AND THEY SAY THEY WILL SEND OUT SOMEONE SOON TO REVIEW. WE HAVE SECURED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT THAT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE INJURIES SUSTAINED BY MY SON. HIS FACIAL/NECK INJURIES WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE BEEN NOMINAL AT BEST HAD THE AIR BAGS PROPERLY DEPLOYED. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE BEING AS NEW AS IT IS MAY NOT HAVE ALL ITS BUGS IRONED OUT. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL BODY SHOPS AND AUTO PEOPLE LOOK AT THEY VEHICLE AND EACH ONE HAD INDEPENDENTLY EXPRESSED THE OPINION THAT THE DAMAGE THIS VEHICLE SUSTAINED COULD CAUSE AN AIRBAG DEPLOYME
