I suggest not to dismantle the airbag for checking yourself, but insist the dealer pops it out of the steering wheel, to prove to you what the label says.

Suggest E90 / E92 owners should contact BMW and demand recall replacement with a different brand of Airbag. (For example TRW, not TAKATA).

Now we know that some Australian E9X / E92s also have airbags by TAKATA.

Cheers,
Wow. Good pick up perth1!

I'll get mine checked before I take it in for the batteryplusfireythingy recall in a couple of weeks when I make it back home.
