Airbag
Hello to all, first time Z4 owner and loving it. Unfortunately I have had an dash airbag light for as long as I have owned it, numerous returns to selling garage and awaiting looms etc, following last visit I am now waiting for a door module? Getting a little tired of the garage to be fair but obviously it's not costing me at present.
I now have an MOT looming in mid September and really hoping it will be sorted by then, if not is there a fuse I can pull to remove light for MOT purposes? And use a different and more local garage.
Many thanks.

I remember getting one of these for my Z3. Worked well no more airbag light ever again. (Might work)

Where you based Oscar
You should really get the code read to see what the root issue is
Someone local could help in advance

So you bought it from a trader? With the warning light on?
If so, my first thought is - why? And my second is - check with Trading Standards where you now stand in the event that it doesn't get fixed sharpish. Good luck

I think I have a similar error code (only left side).
Looking at other forums (e46 link incl in topic below) the black clip which sits over the green connector might be missing some teeth.
Worth a try and might be a cheap fix if you can do it yourself. I’m waiting on some replacement clips and will let you know if it solves the problem for me - hopefully get round to it next Saturday.

Yes, for me, I noticed one of the teeth was missing when taking the airbag out to replace window regulator…. Suddenly the codes appeared!
Might not be the same issue obviously… but there is an airbag behind the door card. Worth reading some howto guides to help get doorcard off and to disconnect battery for a while before taking it out to avoid further issues/errors!
