My Ride: BMW 530iA E60
Hi,
I just replaced my original sport seats with M5 seats, but it was not so succesfull.
I did everything as seat replacement instructions tells (battery was disconnected during removing and installation etc.) and everything was fine after I started the car - for a while. Then first seat belt light came up, just like if you don?t have seat belt on. But no alarm sound when I drove the car. After couple of minutes airbag lights came up and iDrive complains about "Front pass - restrain system faulty". I shut the engine and started again, all warning lights gone. But once again after few minutes seat belt light came up and after that airbag. This happens evrytime now when I start the car.
Any idea what?s wrong? Should I go to my dealer and reset all those lights with BMW tester but does it actually help anything? Should I use my old seat belt pretensioners? Please help me.
Best regards,

You could have bad/broken sensors in the new seats. My passenger side sensor is broken and it gives me the same error messages, I just need to find the time to take it in and have my dealer fix it.
