I believe that is not correct please read rest of artical
To respond to the problem, BMW said it would extend the warranty to 10 years without any mileage limit for the following vehicles: 2006 6 Series, 2006 3 Series with standard seat, 2004-2005 Z4, 2004-2006 7 Series, 2006 X5, and 2004-2006 5 Series with comfort seats.
BMW said under the extended warranty program, the detection mat in a vehicle with the air bag system problems would be replaced at no charge to the customer.
Hmm...it appears that they have updated the article since my post. Got to love the instant updates of the internet. Although it makes me wonder what changed from '06 to '08?
