So........ I've had my new Clubman for two months now. I start it up one Sunday and the airbag warning light is on. I took it to to the dealer the next day, waited around for a couple of hours, they check the car out, seems OK and they reset the light. I drive to work, everything is fine, when I start it up to go home, the airbag warning light is on again. So I took it back to the dealership. Evidently the passenger side airbag needed to be replaced and they wouldn't let me drive it the meantime due to safety issues. It took a week for the part to come in. They gave me a loaner car (BMW328ix) in the meantime which was nice, but it's just not the same. the car has been fixed now and the light has stayed off for the past few days......fingers crossed......
I didn't buy the extended warranty because of the supposed reliability of these cars (all red circles in Consumer Reports) but now I'm worried, two months and 2900 miles and it's already been back in the shop for a week.
