    I’ve had the same issues with my car. This was one out of a couple alerts that were going off in my 2007 E60. The problem I experienced was a leaky oil filter housing gasket, and that led to oil leaking into the alternator and causing everything to go haywire. I had the alternator and gasket replaced and the car hasn’t thrown that alert yet. You may wanna check the status of your alternator, takes literally 30 seconds at any autozone for free.

    Same problem with my 2006 5 series. Solution: scanner (C Reader 310 +, programmed for BMW, $55 Amazon) showed low voltage to module that supports SRS functions. Made sense to me due to lack of daily driving during pandemic (I’m retired). I took car for 1 hour drive to re-charge battery, then successfully deleted the error code. Now, if the car sits for 4-5 days, the error code may return. I have also put battery on a trickle charger to eliminate the issue. If your daughter’s 530i is driven daily, maybe check the alternator or it may be a parasitic draw thing. If it’s something else, your right - big $.

    Had same error, but with E9X series. Problem was the one of wire connectors on battety terminal (thing thats puts on top of battery, next to possitive cabble). When you screw metal bracket on top of that terminal it somehow presses the connector or move one of the wires and connection between them are lost, at the same time restraint error came out. Check if wire connectors are not broken, if so try to replace them. The only working solution to remove faulty codes are with diagnostic programm (ISTA+).

    great video and some solid helpful preliminary advice that might help some people. Unfortunately this is a very common recurring issue with BMW's. Their seat mat sensors go bad and the only way to fix them when they go bad is to remove all upholstery from seat and replace the sensor. About a $1500-2000 repair. BMW's are such POS. They were great in the 90's but haven't made anything worth a damn in a long time. -still currently driving my '08 335i... which has also had the passenger restraint system malfunction for 5ish years (among many other issues).
