[QUOTE="opposite_lock, post: 336469, member: 13698"] I'd like to help but I haven't the time to read every post so if I'm posting something that's already been said, I apologize in advance. Anyways, I've had the same problem with the airbag sensor indicator - it just wouldn't turn off after I upgraded my sound system. I took it to BMW and found out that it was the driver's airbag sensor that came undone (because they had to remove the door panel to install my speaker). But more than that, the bracket was somewhat broken, so BMW had to tape it back together. It's absolutely fine to do that...until it falls off again, in which case I'd have to change the bracket or casing (don't remember what he said, it's been a while) that will cost around RM400. So it could be one of two things - either one of your sensors have come undone (it can be diagnosed for exactly which one by plugging in the diagnostic machine at any BMW service center), which will cost nothing to put back in place OR that one of the brackets/casings is broken, which you could tape/glue back together if you're lucky and it doesn't need replacement. Be warned: I've been told by BMW that having one faulty sensor will cause your entire airbag system to malfunction, which means none of your airbags will work in the event of an accident. So please don't go around driving with your airbag malfunction light on like I have done for several weeks before I finally got it fixed. [/QUOTE]
