I own a 2004 BMW 525i and the passenger side airbag and seat belt sign came on few weeks back. The dealer says it’s not covered but NHTSA site indicates it is covered on BMW 525i 2004 vehicles. This dealer is estimating a $650. 00 diagnostic fee to see what need to be done. What can be done to get the passenger side air bag sensor fault issue? my last option is the junk yard, and never buy a BMW.
