Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2006 BMW M3

Yesterday (01/06/17) - while driving in motion, 2 side airbags spontaneously exploded, throwing loose plastic material into the cabin and into my face. Cabin filled with smoke and burning smell. I pulled the car to the side of the road and turned off engine for smoke to disappear. I am going to take my car to BMW dealer tomorrow morning for evaluation.

Takata recall I received a letter from BMW of north America in July 2015 about a drive-side airbag recall for my 2006 BMW M3. (the passenger-side airbag had already been replaced under recall. ) we are now 9 months since I received that notice and I have had no further communication from BMW. When I call my local dealer they can only say that BMW is telling them parts will be available "sometime this year". When I ask what I can do in the meantime (not drive the car? what?) I am told to not worry too much because there has not yet been an incident in a BMW. I know that a lot of airbags have to be replaced but 9+ months seems like a ludicrously long period of time to have to drive around in a potentially dangerous vehicle.
