My Ride: 525i
Model Year: 2005
So I was driving my car solo and the passenger airbag restraint warning pops up on on iDrive. I have an 05 so I thought it may be related to the recall and scheduled an appointment to take it in. The dealer told me it's a faulty battery that caused the warning, though my battery has given me no signs of voltage drop etc.
Is it possible for a faulty battery to affect the airbag safety system?

Almost exact same thing happened to me. I go an air bag restraint warning and brought the car in. Dealer said a bad/corroded battery cable caused the fault. Strange but the details where printed on my service receipt....

Same for me too. Dealer checked the battery, it was ok, and I haven't seen the light come on since (this happened about 3 weeks ago).
