    Passenger seat Occupancy Sensor ! ALL BMW's suffer from this issue.

    Expensive to fix and a ball-ache to do, but you can get a cheap bypass unit from Ebay... ;)

    I had this fault on my e39, thought it was passenger occu sensor but ended up being seatbelt pretensioner. my advice is get a diognostic plugin and see what it says.

    good luck
