I make it a mission in life NOT to deploy my Mini's airbag. Because all of life's meaning will be forever lost after that happens...know what I mean? Seriously, I depend on my Schrothe harness to save my *** not air bags. I've never seen air bags used in any type of racing vehicle nor aircraft...that should tell you something, eh?

Mine looks perfect as you can see

That would make for some interesting reading
According to BMW, Steves Auto Clinic and my own eyes there is no connection. Would love to see what you found.Randy
