Hey There, I have a 2008 135i convertible and the passenger a-pillar cover rattle has become unbearable, so I was wondering if anyone has removed the cover and fixed the rattle and how they went about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, it is apparently a common problem in these cars, but no one has posted a permanent fix or even how to remove the cover in order to fix it. The coupe has a little airbag emblem with a bolt underneath which you can remove to take the cover off, but the convertible doesn't have this, so I'm not sure if it just pops out or what...

      Air bag fault

      Good morning Dave True, the one I got ad 79k, full BMW service history and I had to replace almost all gaskets, o rings, hoses, abs sensors, seals, and I still don’t have a fault free car. Although I have just serviced the car, it looks that I should replace the oil sensor just to be on the safe side, I am using the car for family holidays so the last thing I want is to be stranded. Thank you for the support. Very much appreciated!! Take care Dimitri

      Air bag fault

      Morning Dimitri I believe if the oil is below safe levels it may prevent engine start and show an oil warning but if it isn't working !!! Unfortunately many Main Dealers (not just BMW) loose interest after their Warranty Responsibility ends. So unless a Diagnostic scan is called for and paid for they do not do them and even if they find something which doesn't have an effect on day to day running it gets ignored or for gotten. As I said my 4.6is I fitted 3 Oil level sensors before it was fixed. The car had a full BMW history when I scanned the car that fault was there when I asked the dealer they knew about it but pointed out the sensor can only sensibly be changed at the next Oil Service and the Dip Stick allows oil level checks. I also had an AUC sensor fault Dealer again was not concerned but for me if it's there it needs to be working. Enjoy your Beemer Dave

      Air bag fault

      Hello Dave. I don’t know if it will stop the engine from running, I read it in one of the BMW forums. The strange thing is that I don’t get a fault on my dash!! only on the OBD. I got my first 735 last August, loved it from the first ride, and now I am trying to fix all those little things that the main BMW dealer have not bothered to put right, hence my questions. Almost there!! Many thanks Dimitri
