Staggering ain't it.
 
My daughter's first car was a 2008 Holden Astra, and it had a Takata airbag , and on the recall list, I called Holden Customer Support during a whole 12 months , firstly the letters were supposed to go out to owners in Feb 2019, so I called and I was told it's moved to July 2019, I don't think Holden even had the replacement airbags by then either, but around that time my daughter was involved in a car accident , luckily the driver's airbag didn't deploy in such a slow moving incident, the Astra was written off.

I tried to concentrate on what he was saying but the sight of his ring spanners hung up out of order in the background next to his right ear pushed my OCD to near critical levels. I’ll be back after I go count all the toothpicks in the kitchen.

Lol, they’re not out of order, he addressed it in another one of his videos, can’t remember which one. From memory they’re two different sets so it looks like they’re out of order from the distance he shoots the footage but up close you can see they’re not. Anyway enjoy the toothpicks

It is great that BMW are doing this serious recall, if I had a BMW I would want a trade in I think.
