BMW airbag

[Dave]

the airbag light came on on my 328I... anyone knows a shop (other than the dealer) that could diagnose it? i'm tired of paying big bucks to United BMW.

Mine got tripped and it turned out to be the switch that tells the computer that I'm buckled is broke. Its a $200 fix and I really dont give a shit. bimmerdiy.com has a fix. I'd get it diagnosed and see exactly what it is and if its nothing major (in my case the airbag will still deploy) do the at home "airbag light kill mod"...adds .25rwhp ya know?

strictly german in braselton ga has a big shop and HUGE part inventory (a few miles from Road atlanta)for new and older bimmers. they can reset or engage/disengag your airbag problem. on the web at strictlygerman.com.
