Driving approximately 20-30mph on local street in a straight direction. Driver-side, side airbag deployed without warning. No prior instrument lights were on. Never had any airbag lights on in the history of owning the vehicle. Replaced passenger side airbag as part of recall in 2014. Awaiting dealership to replace driver-side airbag also as part of recall in 2015.
Takata recalli received a letter from bmw of north america in july 2015 about a drive-side airbag recall for my 2006 bmw m3.(the passenger-side airbag had already been replaced under recall.)we are now 9 months since i received that notice and i have had no further communication from bmw.when i call my local dealer they can only say that bmw is telling them parts will be available "sometime this year".when i ask what i can do in the meantime (not drive the car?what?) i am told to not worry too much because there has not yet been an incident in a bmw.i know that a lot of airbags have to be replaced but 9+ months seems like a ludicrously long period of time to have to drive around in a potentially dangerous vehicle.
Yesterday (01/06/17) - while driving in motion, 2 side airbags spontaneously exploded, throwing loose plastic material into the cabin and into my face. Cabin filled with smoke and burning smell. I pulled the car to the side of the road and turned off engine for smoke to disappear. I am going to take my car to bmw dealer tomorrow morning for evaluation
Takata recall: your site improperly shows no recalls when vin used, and confuses 2006 m3 (e46) with the 2006 3 series successor (e90?), even though the recall notice rcrit-14v428-8638 shows "model year 2000-2006 bmw 3 series (e46) - incl-m"
This car has airbag recalland despite 2-3 phone calls to bmw dealership it is still not fixed. All i am told is that i am "on a list". They have no idea when they can fix it. I received initial letter about recall in sept 2014, told to call in november. Called in nov and dec with same response.

Car is well maintained everything run smooth except one day it starts sounding like a tractor. Vanos bolts come loose. Bmw needs to recall the vanos of the e46 m3 asap happened to 50 percent of people i know who have this car and i know about 100.
The smg transmission intermittently comes out of gear in any situation and is very dangerous when in heavy traffic and/or on a highway and loose all power. I have had several close callaccidents at high speeds. I have read many articles stating the same issue with many owners for this type of transmission with a possible defective heat sensor on the hydraulic pump.bmw refuses to recognize this is a factory defect and forcing owners to pay out of pocket $3000 to $4000 for a pump replacement without a guarantee of fixing the issue. I am stuck with an unsafe car and cannot sell it this way.
The contact owns a 2006 bmw m3 with an smg transmission. He stated that when the vehicle was in either first or second gear, the vehicle would lunge forward excessively while driving approximately 20 mph. Upon acceleration, the vehicle would lose power and would move forward at a very slow pace. He stated that in order for the vehicle to accelerate, he would have to take his foot off the accelerator pedal and then re-accelerate before it would pick up power; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where he was able to demonstrate the failure. Repairs were made to the clutch disc and the slave cylinder. The output cylinder clutch, the hydraulic control unit and the actuator were also replaced. The failure persisted. The failure and current mileages were 28,000.updated 2/17/10 the consumer stated the vehicle would buck when accelerating.the clutch and salve cylinder were replaced. Updated 02/22/10
