AIR BAGS
THERE IS A MESSAGE READING PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. I FOUND OUT IT IS THE SEAT SENSOR IN THE SEAT THAT TURNS THE AIRBAG ON AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT, SO THE AIRBAG IS ALWAYS OFF REGARDLESS IF SOMEONE IS ON THE SEAT OR NOT. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER 2006 5 SERIES BUT THE DEALER IS SAYING MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. I BELIEVE THE 2006 M5 SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IF IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHER VEHICLES IN THE RECALL.
