Surprised this hasn't been posted since every BMW dealership right now is doing recalls for people. Something worth checking out if you haven't already had this dealt with.

Cliff notes: apparently Takata air bags in e46s would send pieces of Shrapnel into vehicle occupants. Easiest way to check if you need a recall is call BMW and supply your VIN. I had my airbag replaced yesterday.
Further convincing if you still haven't called after reading my post:
