Which BMW Models Are Affected by Takata Airbag Recall?
I thought this might be a good place to share recall information. The US DOT website is so slow as to be useless. And it also doesn't have up-to-date information.
News reports say that BMW is among the manufacturers involved in the 34-million airbag recall by Takata. Which models and what build periods?

That's the list as of March. I posted because I was wondering if that list has been expanded. I read a couple of things yesterday (but can't remember where right now) that said BMW cars through November 2014 might be affected.

Those are from the newly updated list that was posted to autoblog yesterday. Looks like they haven't added more BMW cars yet but the final list is still not public.
