    Passenger Safety Restraint Malfunction

    thanks, everyone. I bought and dongle (Veepeak) and downloaded bimmerlink and easily cleared this error. Interesting thing is that the error detail noted that it was no longer displayed--something to that effect. I interpreted that as the error should have cleared automatically and didn't.

    Passenger Safety Restraint Malfunction

    There seems to be a lot of fear out there related to ECU bricking. Is any of that legitimate? A few other questions: 1. could there be something actually wrong with the passenger airbag? It seems pretty coincidental that this turned on right after a detail. 2. Would the diagnostic and...

    Passenger Safety Restraint Malfunction

    My seat has now dried out--it has been days; however, I still have the passenger airbag light/warning. I am going to call tomorrow for service.

    Resonant hum

    They didn't report any inner sidewall wear when I asked them about it, which I thought was odd. They fixed the lugs, and relocated the tire. I am happy with that. Still going without the noise.

    Resonant hum

    They brought it in for service last week, moved the tires, and inspected it. Unfortunately, the technician I have been in touch with wasn't there, so I have to call on Monday to see what he found in the inspection. It hasn't been humming since, so it was probably the issue.

    Resonant hum

    UPDATE Tried to move the front to back - back to front at home and a few of the lugs are cross-threaded. I sent an online reply to a customer service survey request and I had not heard anything, so I called BMW. A technician came to my house and tried to remove the tires and could not. Now, I...

    Resonant hum

    Evanston, You may be on to something. I was over at my friend's house today, and he noticed that the tires are misplaced: the 175R19 is on the front passenger, and one of the 155R19 is on the rear on the opposite side. I just purchased this car, so I imagine somebody made a mistake at some...

    Resonant hum

    After driving using the brakes to stop (some downhill neutral braking and braking while stopping short), I do not think that it is the breaks. Unfortunately, I cannot recreate the sound. I was wondering what else is in the front of the vehicle? For example, is there a compressor that runs the...

    Resonant hum

    Thanks for the reply Art, these are some good points. I will try to recreate it with some braking. It definitely could be the friction break. I remember hearing a similar (but harsher) sound when I had a small rock lodged between a pad and rotor on a car a while ago; although, I rarely fill...

    Resonant hum

    Hi guys and gals, I have a 2017 i3 (no range extender), I just bought it, and I have noticed that when I am coming to a stop without braking, there is a loud resonant humming coming from the front end of the vehicle. However, it doesn't happen every time, and sometimes it is louder (really...
