You could sell them for a pretty penny, but I'd go for the whole steering wheel if I could lol. How do they steal passenger compartment airbags though?

Just like any car BMWs are actually VERY easy to get into, it's starting them that is hard.

It also takes me about 20 seconds to remove an airbag from a BMW so I can see where this is coming from.

seems like they are targeting bmw's, tho- i wonder why that is... is it more $$ on the black market?

ive taken out the driver airbag to swap steering wheels and it really isnt a hard task. Im not surprised a pro could do it w/o anyone noticing.
