I placed an item in the front passenger side seat without fastening the seatbelt and the airbag light came on and stayed on... This is the first time this has ever happened. The car was stationary but the engin was running.

I was driving on the autobahn and my bmw 645 and all fault message were displayed. After that, the car speed abruptly,then just cut off!I it restarted with codes and all then shut off again. This continued five times until I reached my destination. I restart the car,and it started, but the radio and door siren was not working with no fault messages;no service engine light; and drove fine for a few min. And then did the same thing again!! I took the car to a bmw repair shopped to have the fault codes read, which end up being a long list of codes.

This vehicle was only 31,000 miles on it. Has been garage kept since bringing home 9 years ago. I was just informed today that the entire computer that controls all air bags is defective. This car hardly gets driven.. Has never been in any accident.. Never driven in snow.. Only a handful of rain storms and that was because I got caught in one. It is in pristine condition!! I just called an independent bmw supplier who has heard of this issue and has supplied many repair facilities with this component. The cost of the computer is $1,200.00.

Passenger restraint system failure - been doing a little research and it seems like bunch of ppl get this error. I don't think is normal because my passenger seat is rarely used and yet I'm getting that error. My car is in mint condition, never abused and always taken cared of. Last time I was at the dealer they told me that the alternator makes the computer give out that error so I changed the alternator and the passenger restraint system failure error is still there. I believe that it should be a recall on the 6series models considering that bmw had similar recalls for their 3, 5 and x series models.

The module that controls the activation of airbags is defective. This results in a potentially severe and life threatening condition!
