I had a minor accident, and the drivers airbag on my 2000 BMW 323ci deployed. Apparently this disables the ignition. Is there an easy way to get the car started?

No, have it repaired by BMW or trusted garage. If you were to get into another accident you would not have airbag protection. Additionlly if it was your fault you insurance may refuse to pay.

Thanks. I would just like to get it started to take to the shop instead of having to have it towed.
