Happy Holiday

[/quoteI bought my car from Vista Motors in Florida, I have not been impressed with their service either, I'm going to take the to Lauderdale Imports, I've used them before if it's fixable, they will figure it out.

Bravo..... BMWs are not for everyone.... the same way as "victoria secret models" don't go out with average Joe.
Please do not worry about potential problems with IMO the finest car with four doors ever built. You are not going to regret your decision. This is light years ahead of its competition with regard to technology, the drivetrain is breath taking. This is my forth BMW and also the most expensive car that I have purchased, people like us are critical, hard to please and generally a royal pain in the a__. If you buy a car like a BMW, then you are most likely a picky kinda guy about what you drive. Enjoy the ride, and make your service adviser fart fire. I do..

Lifting my self up with the side of the seat and BARELY touching the seat and that was enough weight to turn that warning off.

[/quote]My dealer, quoting BMWNA "after extensive testing", said 99# was the limit.
My 109# wife doesn't turn the airbag light off though, so this is probably wrong.
The 190# guy sitting in the seat, should always turn the light off...take a picture and bring it to the dealer.
