I recently had to purchase a new passenger airbag on my 2009 bmw 1 series, since the entire passenger airbag system malfunctioned. I understand that there are certain bmw vehicles which had a recall due to malfunctioning passenger airbags. When i took my vehicle to the dealership, the persons at the dealership mentioned that the 2009 1 series has not been affected by the passenger airbag recall.

We received a recall notice from bmw for the airbag a few months ago but have not received a date when it will be completed. In our opinion, the older models should be replaced first due to the age of the vehicle and the possibility of injury.
The airbag on my vehicle was replaced during the first airbag recall. Does the airbag need to replaced again?

When we saw the car we noticed the wipers were on and would not quit. The manager of the dealer told us he would get it fixed, that this was no problem. When we came back, the wipers were off and we did not check them. After we left, the car died on us and all the lights came on on the dash. We drove back to the dealer and told them we wanted our money back, but he said that we had bought the car "as is" and that meant that we had no recourse. I told them that if i buy a car for the sake to be good the car must be able to be driven, but he said that he would fix the wipers on thursday, but that's all he'd do for us.
Purchased this car yesterday (06/08/2019), and after buying it noticed that the prometer was disconnected and the wipers, which they said would be fixed, had been disconnected.

I went back to the dealer and he said i bought the car as is and did not let me even tell him about the odometer. He promised to fix the wipers on thursday, though.
