Four problems related to front driver side air bag inflator have been reported for the 2006 BMW 330. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In houston, texas, on November 10, 2018, at night I was driving my 2006 BMW 330ci convertible, and when upon entering an entrance ramp from tomball parkway onto beltway 8, I suddenly noticed a metal pole that was resting in the middle of the highway, in an attempt to avoid it I braked and when the car became stationary, the driver and passenger airbags deployed without hitting anything with my front bumper. Moreover, I strongly believe recall 15v318000 and recall 14v348000 that were installed at momentum BMW on March 9, 2018 were defective modules of the airbag deployment system, including the propellant in the airbag inflator because the airbags deployed while my car was at a complete stop. In addition, I also suspect that the delayed deployment of the airbag system is due to the malfunction of the occupant-detection sensors in my sport seats. It begs an answer to the following: why did the airbag deployment system activate without any frontal impact to my car?.
