E36 M3 Airbag light

["Tim Gergen" <m3gizmo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I go to my local dealer this morning at 8am, I am the first cat 
there...I am to have the plastic "shield" that the wiper motors are 
under replaced as the rubber that selas onto the bottom of the 
windshield is deteriorated beyond belief...under warrantee, although I 
now have 51,xxx miles...SO>>> Some 400 pound dude jumps in my ride and 
rips back behind the fence and parks it...they are looking for my 
part...guess what.."we don't have it"...Sh!t...OK, I will come back next 
week then... SO>>>> the 400 pound dude jumps back in my ride and rips up 
to me and gets out, handing me the keys.. I get in an take-off..after 
telling a 98 M3 owner he is screwed because he can't do the euro HFM 
upgrade (hehe)..As soon as I get onto the road, I noticed the airbag 
warning light is on...WHAT THE !!!!!!  I pull in and querry the dealer 
why this would come on...I saw the guy drive the car 200 feet, park it, 
sat for 30 minutes, then drove it 200 feet again.."Dunno, blah blah 
blah".. Halfway back to work (5 miles from the dealer) it goes out... 
Curious.....Ideas?? Why would this come on, then go off?  Is there a 
seat sensor that measures if someone is in the seat?  Maybe because I 
was buckled in (always) and being in it right after a 400 pound dude 
smashed the hell out of the sensor, it didn't make contact?? Hell, I 
dunno.. The only thing different that happened to the car was the 400 
pound dude!  OK, well maybe 390..Ideas? Tim
