I'm new and need some help with the airbag!

Hi there guys,

I'm Mohammad and I live in Iran. Glad I found you guys here.

I have a 2005 e46 325i and recently purchased a bunch of parts for the interior from Europe. I got this M sport steering wheel with part number of 32.34.2.282.022 and now I need to get a new airbag from Dubai which fits in it. I believe the proper part number for the airbag is 32.30.6.757.891.
I called the AGMC of Dubai and the guy said there is no such part number in their database! then they sent me an email containing a diagram of the wheel similar to "this one" but they do not have it available.

Any of you guys know where in Dubai I can get this airbag?

Thanks in advance,
Mohammad

Here is some photos of the car.
However, it's pretty stock and unmodified, I doubt anyone likes it here!

stock or modified, on this forum each and everyone gets the same liking and respect :)

there are a few agents out here who can source you the part you need. Central auto parts in shj is one of them. Tel 06-5331513

Thank you Wazif,

Well the guy at that number said I've got the wrong number.
I was planning to find somewhere that has this airbag for sure and then send my relative who lives in Dubai to buy it. I didn't want to cause him trouble searching for the part because he is not into this things. But after all, it seems that I have to send him to somewhere like BMW street because I am not able to remotely find a specific place that sells this airbag.

Ok, here is the question. If I send him to look for the airbag, is there any way that he can make sure an airbag is brand new and genuine? I'm asking because I don't know how the original packaging of airbags looks like.

[Wazif]

hmmmm well if purchased from one of these stores, im sure it will be new. no way to find out from the packaging really besides seals and quality checks.

try out this number 06-5333539

what if i tell you i have one? :)

[Ocellatus]

Then I'd be very happy and send a p.m. to ask whether you are going to sell it! :)

I checked in Bahrain, no luck sorry!

I hope you and Bruno work something out!

Thanks to Bruno, I got the airbag and just yesterday received it along with some other stuff.
Now I'm gonna do the cruise control retrofit :)

designo and Wazif, thanks guys. I appreciate your help on this.
