It's a widespread problem right now. It happens in waves, and if you go to BMW dealers in larger cities it's not uncommon to see 4-5 5 series missing the dashboard and airbags.
What I don't understand is what are they using it for? Can they upgrade older models with it?
- ollie87 8y agoCrashed vehicles will need replacement dashboards and airbags, probably stealing them to do dodgy repairs on cars that have been in big accidents.
- wjnc 8y agoSorry for the late reply. The story (I'm in insurance, but no means to check for validity) is that in Europe total losses are sold for their chassis numbers and then pretty much built up from stolen parts in Eastern Europe. I had a bad run in with a likewise situation when someone crashed into my rear and the offer for the wreck was way high. That meant I had to go get a new one, since via technical total loss I could not get my own car repaired without financial risk.
