Recently purchased a 2008 bmw z4. After a week of ownership the airbag light came on. Fault code points to the passenger seat occupancy sensor oc3. Bmw issued a 15 year extended warranty to many bmw models including the 2006 and 2007 z4 with comfort seats, but not to the 2008 model. This repair costs upwards of $1500 and is safety related. Bmw needs to step up and cover all affected models!

The airbag red light on dash appeared and stayed on,also passenger yellow airbag light stays on .Took to bmw dealer they informed me that the passenger seat occupancy sensor mat was defective and needed to be replaced at a cost around 1,600.00 . Error code 93c3 they informed me with this problem i do not have any airbag protection . This is a safety problem and i believe they have repaired other models but not this model . Why ?

Dashboard airbag warning light came on - obd scan indicates the passenger seat oc3 airbag sensor mat has failed. I believe this means the vehicle can no longer detect if there is a child in the passenger seat, and will deploy airbags regardless of passenger weight. Bmw has a service bulletin for many other models and years (including my z4 model - but not yet for my 2008 model year).
