I was driving by 2005 X5 when I drove over a 4 inch curb in a parking lot and all the side airbags deployed! My car was barely at 1 mile per hour at that time. Is this a problem with all the drivers on X5? Can anyone suggest how to handle this mess?

This seems to be a serious problem. The BMW has to take this seriously.

Insurance companies do not pay for such losses. But the BMW has maintains that it’s not a problem with the model and can be dealt with local mechanics. This isn’t fair.

I own a 2007 x5 and have experienced a similar problem. The airbags deploy unwarrantedly and ripped my headliner several times. It also messes up with the alarm system and the lights.

Better avoid purchasing side airbags. It can deploy unnecessarily (I mean even if you go over a curb).
