I'm not doubting what you are saying but the story doesn't really add up.
Why would his insurance company get involved in an incident to do with the car that has happened whilst the person insured hasn't been at the wheel?
How does the insurance company know that this incident has even occurred during the duration of the current policy?
If airbags have been deployed and are now missing then that to me says that you are claiming that not only has someone potentially changed the entire dashboard, but they have also the intelligence to able to fool the BMW ECU into thinking that missing airbags are still fitted and functioning.
If the car has had all of this work done to repair damage extensive enough to deploy airbags in such a short timeframe then that would be very impressive.
And for it to be all undetectable to the naked eye then that is remarkable.
