A warning light for the passenger side front airbag is on. BMW wants to charge me $1500 to replace the faulty airbag. How can it be damaged if it's never been used" how is this repair my responsibility? additionally, this BMW burns oil. It seems to be a problem with all 8 cylinder models as they age. I have to add a quart of oil every 300 miles or so and the car blows black smoke via the exhaust. I've spent $1300 to repair it, but it didn't repair the issue. Now I'm being told it's a $10,000 repair. How is a problem that's systematic with so many 8 cylinder bmws my responsibility"

Receive a "passenger restraint system" failure. BMW el cajon dealership diagnosed problem as passenger occupancy seat mat sensor. This is a very serious issue. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash. This know BMW issue develops cracks and could lead to a system failure. If the electronic sensing mat in the front passenger seat fails, this will disable the front passenger air bag and the air bag will not deploy during a crash. The known BMW defective seat sensor is well documented200,000 bmws recalled in 2008, 77,000 in 2013, and 2,158 in 2017. I request you issue a recall for all 2012 BMW 650I's asap to prevent this ineffective safety system from causing property damage, injury or death.
