Driving, with my wife as passenger,on 118 fwy, in simi valley california at approx. 11:30 pm on june 6 when air bags deployed without warning, and without collision or impact. Engine was disabled and I was miraculously able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road, despite lack of vision from airbag and from dust inside vehicle. No indication of any impact whatsoever. Vehicle was completely disabled and I was barely able to get vehicle out of traffic lane. Dashboard had two messages: 1. "engine malfunction" 2. "fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt force limiter" vehicle was towed to a local bmw vehicle on monday , june 10, and I have been waiting to hear something/anything from bmw factory ever since. Clearly, this accident could very well have been a fatality had there been traffic on the freeway or had we not been extremely fortunate.
I started my car and have a red warning in my screen said fault in passenger restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. Fasten and continue to wear belts. Please contact the nearest bmw center.

Occupancy sensor / front passenger airbag system. The passenger airbag off warning lamp lights up with a passenger in the front seat. This is a certified pre-owned car purchased late january 2009. This occurs about 2-3 times per month. Sept 2009, after months of complaining and having the dealer tell me they can not duplicate the problem the replaced the sensor mat in the seat. This was covered in ea08-001 and should have been done before the car was offered for sale. Later that same month the warning light went off again.
