2011 Z4 seat belt module?

I just got an email back from my dealer (my Z4 35is should have shown up today), saying that it was still at the port in LA, along with all the other 2011 Z4's waiting for a seat belt module, and won't be released for another 10 days.

More than a little irritated.

I don't suppose BMW could have put the seat belt module on the same boat that they used to ship your car?

That's a bummer.

I seriously doubt they forgot to install a seat belt module at the factory but maybe they had a code or error and needed to replace it before releasing the car from the VPC.

Yea, my guess is some kinda of "recall" type thing, but I haven't heard anything.

I had to take my car back to replace the seat belt module as I had the seat belt light and air bag warning light come on while driving....seems there was a module problem.. so maybe they're replacing them now..

I just experienced that today! At first the seat belt light was on, then the airbag light came on too. Not cool!

interesting. i recently bought a 1 day subscription to bmwtis. i took a look at all the info for e89's and did not see anything like this. however, i was not specifically looking for seat belt module issues.

Hmm, I just got that recently. For me, it seems to be triggered when I use the heated seats function for the passenger side: the airbag light goes on along w/ the seatbelt light...then the airbag light goes off but the seatbelt light remains: does that mean the airbag would still deploy in an accident? I have to restart the car to get rid of the seatbelt light.

Did the fix work out? How long did it take?

^update:
Dealer finally figured out that it was a faulty seat sensor which somehow is related to the heated seats ftn. Getting a replacement sensor soon.

Sorry to hear that, it's a bummer with such nice top down weather and all. There is a seat belt mod mine was done last week.
