The sad truth is more often than not, businesses have one interest in mind when making a decision - make money and stay profitable. Out of the 540k e46 cars produced - how many are actually on the road still? How much does an airbag cost (@ dealer $) + replacement per vehicle? How much do potential lawsuits costs if they get a couple of these under their belt?
Cost Benefit analysis was conducted - and I promise you the recall was most likely a miniscule number vs. the potential lawsuits from deaths due to a malfunctioned airbag.
For those who think companies just do it to care about the safety, it's just a cherry on top for good marketing.
It's a sick world we live in, but it is what it is.
