Don't feel bad... at least your airbags will go off if you crash!
WASHINGTON (AP) -- BMW AG is recalling 200,000 vehicles over concerns that the front passenger air bag may not deploy in a crash.
The German automaker says the recall involves the 2006 3 Series, the 2004-2006 5 Series, and the 2004-2006 X3 compact sport utility vehicle.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a posting on its Web site Wednesday that small cracks could develop in a seat detection mat and lead to the front passenger air bags to be deactivated.
It would also turn on the passenger air bag "on-off" light. NHTSA says the head protection system would not be affected.
The company said last month there had been no injuries or accidents tied to the problem.

Sounds almost non-believable that a 335i with those mods is capable of breaking into the 11's....I have heard that the stock turbos can put out a max of 400awhp , anything above that power requires a bigger turbo upgrade.....Most of the tuned, intake,exhaust 335's I hear about are putting down 350awhp and turning out mid/high 12 ET's in the 110-112mph range...Nice cars though!!
