I have a 2004 525i e60. I've have the same problem almost since I've purchased the car in 2005. I went to the dealer and they fixed (or at least they told me they did) and 3 years later (sure, after the warranty expires) i have the same problem. I went to the dealer again here in Miami by Biscayne and they told me I had to pay over 1,500.00 to have it fixed. Frustrated, I went to South motors as well. The same joke. They gave me an estimated with wrong part numbers! By the parts numbers on my estimated, I would only need to replace the leather of the seats! I went online to find out what is wrong and I went to the BMW north America web site. They have a recall for over 200,000 vehicles from 2004 and up. BUT, MINE WAS NOT ON THE LIST! SURE! I called them up and they say they were going to try to help me, but there's not much they can do about it. They suppose to call me between tomorrow or Wed to let me know what it the best choice.
well according to my service advisor.... which is my good friend of mine... told me as long as it is in the system that you had to fix it and the problem come back on they can cover it under the warranty because technically they did not fix it right

Change your battery, since I changed mine the problems went away!

The passenger restarint failure light came on a week ago, i made the appointment and took it to the dealer. They said theres nothing wrong and that my amp that i have hooked up to my sws-8x's has caused to go low voltage which made the alert pop up. i told them to clear the fault and the SA said that they tried and it keeps coming back. Whats the solution?? ![Getlost](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/getlost.gif)

I'm having the same exact issues with mine, let me start from the beginning.
My driver side sub went out, thought it was the sub itself since my passenger side sub was fine. Went ahead and ordered sws-8 sub for driver seat and installed. Didnt work so replaced my L7 amp which now had my sub and whole system working.
Now it starts getting strange, when the car is idling with no sound I can hear the sub making humming sounds, when I rev. the car the sub starts humming with the RPM. Two days later driving my car throw transmission codes, passenger restraint error etc etc.
Shut car down for 30 mins, restart all codes go away except the passenger restraint code. Sub is still making humming sounds with the cars rpm even when I put stock sub back in????
Low battery? Main + terminal cable NFG?
