Junkyard airbag??

[Andrewg29]

So I have a 2011 328i with the non-sport steering wheel. I’ve been looking around and have decided that I want to upgrade. I don’t care too much for the m steering wheel, I’m happy with the sport. My question is, would you buy an airbag from a bmw junk yard? I know it sounds crazy, but if they give me a good enough price, I’m just gonna buy the whole steering wheel, airbag and all! Let me know what you’d do!

That is almost certainly one of the recalled Takata airbags.

So what’s to guarantee if I buy one off eBay it’s not part of the Takata recall as well? Last resort would be to spend $500 at the stealership which I refuse to do

If you can get the VIN off the donor car, you could run it through the recall website to check it.
