so it is not covered under warrantee?
...why don't you buy one and place it yourself? (if you have the skills and you know how to take the seat out) It's a 70 Eur. part and 1-2 hours job max. You'll have to erase the faults at the dealer afterwards (if you don't have your personal tool like Carsoft and the like)

I called my dealer and they dont have a recall assigned to the car, even though its 04-06 its possible it could be 05-06. I dont have a comfort seat, but my seat is comfortable lol, I have to go in tomorrow anyways for tail lamp so I'll ask service advisor about it!
The airbag recall was reported by CNN as having being issued. In fact to date, there is no recall. When BMW figures out how to fix the problem (which we don't know what it is), they will then issue a recall.
