Receive a "passenger restraint system" failure. BMW el cajon dealership diagnosed problem as passenger occupancy seat mat sensor. This is a very serious issue. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat determines if and how the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash. This know BMW issue develops cracks and could lead to a system failure. If the electronic sensing mat in the front passenger seat fails, this will disable the front passenger air bag and the air bag will not deploy during a crash.
