Follow-Up to Airbag Warning Light and Faulty Seat Belts

["Murray Wilks" <murray_wilks@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just wanted to say thanks to the three digesters who responded to me 
regarding their problems with faulty seat belt latches setting off the 
airbag warning light. 
Turns out that yes, for the THIRD time, I had a faulty seat belt latch. 
What made things even more laughable was that someone else was picking 
their car up at the dealership for exactly the same reason... That 
person was none too impressed with my sob story.
I received three different responses from the three customer service 
staff at the dealership:

1)  feigned ignorance of the problem
2)  boy, it sounds as if you've had some bad luck
3)  BMW has since re-designed the seat belt systems to correct for this 
fault.

It was response #3 that I am most interested in getting some hard 
confirmation. I e-mailed BMW Cda about 1.5 weeks ago requesting 
IMMEDIATE confirmation as to whether they are now using corrected parts 
but they have not even given me the courtesy of a response saying they 
have received my e-mail.

Is there anyone out there that can confirm that BMW has since 
re-designed the faulty seat belt latches?

Thanks for your help, and the bandwitdh.

going...)
