Depending on the offset of the collision and a ton of other variables, the airbags may or may not deploy. In a nutshell, they deploy if the calculations the car runs through tells it that you're better off with an airbag blowing up in your face. I wouldn't assume there was a defect.

No nav, base model. Only things I'll be selling are the LED dome lights and the Vaistech iPod adapter, that is ofcourse if I don't get another IS.

$23,339 in damages. Total loss dept. is looking into it now. Thank god for GAP insurance!
Depending on what happens with the insurance situtation, replacement car will either be a GFM IS250 or 350 or if I'm lucky, 335i.

I hope you feel better soon and recover quickly. Good thing your insurance is totaling the car out. Keep us posted on what car you get next.

Gap is for when you lease or finance.

In the event of a totaled accident or non recovered car theft, gap pays the difference between what the car is worth and what you owe.
