Passenger seat occupancy sensor error displayed in vehicle information center. Warning restraint/air bag not functioning properly. This was taken to the BMW dealership for diagnosis, and it was determined the passenger occupancy sensor has failed and needs to be replaced. There was no recall listed for this issue. I found there was a service information bulletin from BMW acknowledging the issue sb-10056703-9690 with many affected models of vehicles, that has been updated in 2018 to include additional. It currently does not list the e93 model, but does list e90 and e91 and stated the affected component if electric adjustable seats is seat option code 459. My vehicle has the same option code as listed as the affected components. BMW extended warranty coverage for owners of vehicles adding additional models with e91 in 2018. They should cover over models with the affected component as it presents a safety issue and is a common failing part.
