Are airbags in BMWs filled with gold dust and woven with the pubes of a pakistani virgin?

It wasn't really a sensor. It was the SRS wiring. Honda did a shitty job of weathersealing that part of the harness. The recall "calls" for sealing a few splices.

Re: BMW recalls 200,000 vehicles

for the BMWs they are replacing the sensors NOT the airbags, the sensors retail betwen $50-$60 from what I could find on a quick google search
and since it's a recall it won't cost the owners anything but time
