I completely agree, I screwed up big time. Funny thing is, I remember doing the cluster check when I drove it the first time, and seeing that the airbag light was there.

Going over some pictures I took, it looks like the light may have come on after I test drove it but before I picked it up. Previous owner might have seen it and taped over it so I wouldn't notice it easily when I went to pick up the car after work. Classy.

Took it to Werner's on recommendation, and that guy looks to be decent. At least he didn't charge me for not fixing the issue (communicating with the car). He wants to keep it for a day to trace some wires, take out the passenger seat and look for blown fuses below the carpeting.

Nice guys, seems to know and like what he does. We'll see what happens.

@RSXBoii:

That's somewhat what I will be aiming for, although still wondering on angel eyes or not. And those wheels are ugly. Will be putting M-Parallels in the spring, assuming the car's computer isn't toast or something terrible like that.

Nice! Werner's my boy! haha, he does great work. If I'm not mistaken theres an older 7 eeries parked outside his shop that's his project car

Yeah, saw that one. He was driving a nice older M3 today. Hopefully either him, or some people on BimmerForums that offered to help, can figure out the electronic mystery of the car.

That sucks. If any wires were cut to the ECU, the previous owner was an absolute douche bag and a half.

I have a Peake scanner in case you ever need a code pulled. I don't have the Air bag/SRS reset scanner though.

Just an update, Werner was not able to diagnose the car. I might have to bite the bullet and go to the dealership, but I guess I'll have to start tracing wires.

what seems to be the problem with the car other than airbags? i have a peake and inpa on a laptop. i could probably scan it for you

When the diag tool is connected to the underhood port there is no communication.

Sorry to hear that he's been awesome for me in the past at least. Hopefully it didn't set you back too much

Ive got 04 745i and i love mine. Congrats on the purchase

12.9l/100km on v8, luxury vehicle ! you cant go wrong with 7 series; Ive driven 3 5 and 6 series and you can not compare luxury and comfort to 7 series.

I use BMW dealer for most repairs ( auto west in richmond ) i always get 15% off labor because I just ask for discount.

if your bmw is 7 years or older, u are entitled to discounted service. I sure hope u are getting 15% off on top of this program. If not that 15% off is nothing compared to what u should be getting.

Auto West BMW, Richmond, BC | Classic Service

25% off labor? Never knew that! Guess I know where I will be taking it in for further diagnosis if I can;t fix the communication issue!

hey PM me if you work at autowest; ill be your regular man!

I dont work there, but last time I took my car there I happen to see that sign by the service reception.

Gigi at auto west service is fat as fuckkkkk

anyways i will never take my car to dealer for maintenance after warranty... last time i was quoted nearly $2000 for Inspection II, while it was $700 in an indy shop

can't remember whether it is advantage collision or advance collision.. its beside richmond Ikea, and the work is pretty nice and the owner is really chill... services lots of BMW, Merc's and Audi's.

LMAO agreed. And she doesn't know shit about BMWs or cars in general.

I think you guys are mixing up Gigi with a different service adviser there.

uhhh how many fat gigi's drive a cayman in vancouver?

Oh, thought you might have mixed her up with this service adviser that really is fat as shit.
She makes gigi look slim.

parts.com......cheap(er) OEM parts.

as for private Mech (in RIchmond) Aram at AVE Performance knows his shit. (well affordable)

If you need to clear any codes, (on any car 96 and up) turn engine light off you can PM me. Dealerships charge 50-100$ for that... I charge "Stella" pack =)

do you even check the expiry date? because you obviously dont when it comes to threads dated 1/2 a year old! bump a thread just to spam your services for some beer... sad, even if it is stella.

listen "bro"... remove my reply if you have sunday PMS and lets call it a day.
I only try to help people out.
