I'm looking for a left hand B pillar sensor for a Z4 2.5i. 2004.
Just failed the MOT. The left hand B pillar airbag module needs replacing BMW part number 65 77 6974366.
Does anyone know of anyone who can replace and code it for me in the UK.
Had the car 19 years and would love to keep it on the road but am struggling to source this part.
Will travel if anyone can help.

Hello.
Where are you?
I think I should have a compatible part number for you.
I can supply fit and code it too
 
Hi thanks for getting in touch. I'm just on the outskirts of Rochdale. If you can help me to keep this on the toad that would be fantastic. It's far too good to scrap

Indeed I can, but I’m in Norfolk so it ain’t simple. I am retired though so a road trip sounds a bit of fun.
If you PM me a contact number it will be easier to plan something via WhatsApp

Martin, I might jump on to this if you’re planning a meet up if possible? I’m also based up in Manchester and my trip to Norfolk isn’t looking likely now. Will PM you my details

Just got back from a 500 mile round trip in which I fitted and coded an SBSL for [ref]Z4Brent[/ref], replaced one I'd previously supplied for [ref]apple[/ref], (though this car still has some odd issues going on, but don't think they are module related), then got to [ref]mjennings23[/ref] just before it got dark on Saturday night, thinking it was a simple case of coding the replacement module he already had. Turns out that was duff, but I had a spare so that went in. Once coded we discovered the SIM85 was duff as well! Dammit! No time to rip the console apart, so out with the coin tray, unplug the connectors and pull them through the hole, connect up the new module and code it in. Airbag light is out! So now all Mark has to do is disconnect the battery, unplug the new module, dismantle the console, swap the modules over, rebuild and reconnect. That's a handy way of doing it in fact as you can prove the system before you take your car apart.
Hasty goodbyes said, then off down the M6 and across to Wellingborough Travelodge for the night. Up this morning and a ten minute drive to supply fit and code yet another SBSL for a fb customer.
So elated with all my success that I stopped off on the way home and bought a 3.0i project. :roll: :D
 
Good afternoon. I am in Sweden. I need a b-pillar sensor as well as I didn't pass the annual inspection.
Is it possible to get one coded with my VIN number?

Thank you

Hello.
You need to make sure you get one that is compatible with your existing module first. Once you have one, it needs to be physically fitted into the car and then coded with VIN and System Time. I don't think this can be done away from the car as part of the process is to match the module with the information contained in the instrument panel and the light control module.
 
I do have one with number 65776974366 which my mechanic wasn't able to code. But he doesn't know the procedure...
Is it possible to do remotely while in contact with a local workshop?

I believe you have to have the software plugged in using the correct cable
 
As said above, you do need to have the correct software installed on the laptop that is connected to the car, and this laptop has to be connecterd using the correct cable. If you had all that in place then it should be possible for someone to talk you through the process, or simply use this guide:
