Three problems related to seats have been reported for the 2007 BMW 530. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2018

The passenger seat occupancy mat sensor has failed and it has triggered the seat belt and airbag light sensor for my BMW. BMW says it is not under recall, but they have recalled the 2006 BMW e60 (mine is a 2007) for the same problem.

2 Seats problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2018

The front passenger seat occupant detection light is on due to the mat cushion failure. This is very common on BMW and most of them have a recall issued, but not for my 2007. Please advise as the dealership wants $1800 for a new one. Passenger airbag will not work unless replaced.

3 Seats problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2017

I received a recall notice from BMW - no. 13v-564 I have gone to two dealerships, including the one where I bought the car brand new and they will not complete the repairs due to a replacement part on hold notice from BMW. They also will not tell me when they can complete the repair. I called BMW and received no help at all, just to try another dealer.
