A faulty airbag light is becoming a common problem on 1994 - 1995 3-series. The problem is in the seatbelt. COsts $ 180.00 -$ 200.00 to have a dealer fix it.
If you have had this problem, please contact the NHTSA at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ & report it. Maybe we can force a recall.

I ahd this problem last week. It cost me $280. BUT, it wasnt the seat sensor this time. It was the sensor in the steering wheel. Some kind of collar with contacts on it.

I had this problem with my 1994 318is. Fortunately, my car was still under warranty at that time. Anyone have any problems with their profile gasgets on the 92 - 94 318? I had mine fail at around 90,000 km. 10 000 kms after my warranty finished. Cost me an arm and a leg to fix.
Sometimes it does'nt matter because when my dad sent his 2002 318i the mechanic said it was just a cable loose but I figured out which door it was and we going to check it out.Cost around R2000/$200

I have a 2004, the light came on after I took the car to the carwash, so I'm guessing water got into the sensor. However, it's not worth paying so much at the dealer for it.

The top will not go up or down. It worked for awhile, but yesterday when I was trying to lowere the top the electrical motor quit. There appears to be two wires running into the fuse box under the hood for this purpose. I do not have a tech manual covering the electrical system so I don't know if these wires are factory or something that was added. I just purchased this vehicle a few days ago from a private owner.
