The front passenger seatbelt sensor malfunctions and sets off the warning sound as if someone is siting in the seat when nobody or nothing is in the seat. This may cause airbag malfunctions or have it not deploy. This has been happening since the first day I bought the car several weeks ago. The issue is constant while I'm driving.

Intermittent fault on passenger restraint system affecting passenger airbag and belt tensioner. My car was not included in the recall for earlier E90 models with the sport seats. First fault occurred with approximately 118,000 miles on the car and has happened occasionally for the last 10,000 miles. Fault code 0093C3

I have a passenger restraint system fault affecting airbag, belt tensioner. My car has sport seats that have been recalled in a previous campaign due to the seat mat sensor failure. My car was not included in the recall. BMW quoted me a replacement seat mat using the same recalled product from 2013 and 2006. My car currently has a seat belt malfunction code and the seat mat sensor is defective. This went defective at 84,000 miles on the car. As a result, the airbags will not deploy in a crash because the seat does not detect an occupant with the seat belt malfunction!

Takata airbags-I received a recall notice (16V-071) in March 2016, but the problem has not yet been corrected.ten months have passed and I have called BMW monthly and continue to be told the parts are not yet available and they are unable to provide a date when the parts will be available. This is an unacceptable waiting time with no schedule for the repair.

Passenger restraint system malfunction - notice started popping up at random now is on all the time without a passenger. Have been told there is no recall, but the same issue has been identified on all BMW sports seats from years 2006 and 2008, noticing complaints of the same issue for 2012 issues posted online as well. Previous issue was for a cracked sensor in the seat. Not happy that BMW has had this issue and will not review possible reoccurrence in newer models then 2008.
