If its only for the airbag then it appears not, thanks again for all your input guys its much appreciated. the passenger seat will probably have a seatbelt pretensioner. the fault could be with that circuit, and as such may still have a ...

Re: Z4 Hood Motors
buy a Z4.
Then sell it on, so you can buy a z3 again, mark my words, so many people do this......
I might add there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Z4, but its still not a Z3.
A Z3 gets under your skin, a Z4 is just a nice car.

however if you do not do many miles and oil service will be best, as you don't need an inspection until the SI is reached if mileage is still a good way off.
