Fault Codes - What Do These Mean?

Can anyone help me to translate the following fault codes into what I need to fix please?

They have recently been downloaded from my 318i SE (June 2003).

Engine

27C3 Thermical oil level sensor

Airbag

50 Supply voltage

70 Seat occupancy sendor (x2)

51 Fault lamp (AWL)

Airbag

5E1F VIN different

5E16 CAN instrumentation

5DF4 System voltage > 9 volts

5DF7 CAN control module

Instrument Panel

F5 CAN-bus to ASC control unit

F4 CAN-bus faulty

87 K-bus

CE Ambient air temp

There is an airbag warning light on the dash board (probably passenger seat sensor problem) and I know I have an intermittent problem with the rear lights. i recently had the oil warning light come on but this has now gone out as I have topped up the engine oil. The air conditioning does not work (no cold air output). I regularly get the brake warning light and 2 yellow tell tale lights for the ABS coming on together and when this happens the radio crackles/volume reduces and the temperature display goes off momentarily (all happens for 2-5 seconds). So I knowI I have an air bag fault, a rear light fault but I wonder if the other problems are connected to either a faulty temperature sensor and/or electrical problems with the instrument panel/dash board.

Can anyone help - before I have to spend money getting a garage (dare I say even BMW dealer) to help??!

Thanks, Sue.

      Instrument cluster suddenly died

      A few weeks ago my instrument panel on my 2004 e61 stopped working properly, the only thing that worked were the two small screens in the middle so I opened it to check what was wrong and then there was a path in the circuit board that had blown on the way in/out from the processor, so I ordered a new one. It arrived in the post today so I installed The new one and everything worked fine the first drive, but on the second drive it was broken and only the two small screens in the middle worked. Has anyone experienced this before or know what could be the cause? When the car is moving either speed, rpm, fuel efficiency etc does not work and the two small screens are much brighter than they should be

      Mini One 2004 Buying Advice

      Well I ended up buying it. Bodywork needs a good pollish, and I got the front discs and pads changed at the weekend. Got the rears to do overchristmas but at least it stops now and is driveable. Fortunately it is the first cheap car I have bought where every single nut and bolt came off without much effort. Callipers slid off, pistons were nice and free, and I didn't have to take the big hammer to the discs to release them from the rust. I love people who believe in a little copperslip!!! Done a few wee trips in it and the other half has used it on a couple of longer motorway trips so far. Couple of knocks and bangs to be investigated, one of them I am sure is the exhaust. I don't like the look of the way those springs are set up on the front suspension though!!! Looks like if one of them goes then your tyre is getting mangled too!!! Thrust bearing on clutch sounds a little noisy and there appears to be some noise similar to the tappits on a mk3 escort. I'll have a good poke about on google and see what I can dig out, plus get myself the Haynes manual. No noise from timing chain which is good. All in all it's a tidy wee car for not a lot of money

      E87 Whine on acceleration

      Great advice gents, got a similar type of noise, literally started today, definite cyclic in nature so linked to the belt and pulleys and will try the WD40 first to see if I can isolate the cause of it before moving on.

      Headlight condensation

      I can confirm, no more appearance of any condensation in headlights so this is a worthy fix.
