What owners wrote
2007 BMW 530 I . The light indicating the front passenger air bag is not working seems to be unfixable. BMW will not give me any assurance that the problem is not of any danger and actually told me not to drive it if I feel it is unsafe. It has been repaired five times yet the light continues to come on.
