Three problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2003 BMW 530. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Takata recall was notified in may 2015 of drivers side airbag recall. Current status from BMW is no remedy available yet. I would think by now that the plans and timelines of this recall would be well understood and issued to the owners of the affected vehicles.
Car slid into a pole due to the weather the passenger side bumper was hit but the driver side air bag deployed and the car wouldn't start. There really wasn't much damage to the bumper just don't understand why the airbag deployed.
I was driving on a mountain road on pine mountain in kern county, CA when the driver's side air bag on the door and headliner deployed. The rear seat air bag also deployed. It was completely unexpected - I did not hit anything before they deployed. The deployment caused the car to stop which then skid over the icy road, and the emergency flashers came on.
