Hi guys, I recently changed the seats in my E36 325i from some old ripped up ones to some nice, clean M-sport seats. The problem I have had since then is the airbag light comes on when the start is first switched on, and stays there for a couple of minutes. Fortunately I haven't had to get a warrant since I changed the seats, but I assume this would make it fail. Anyway - my mechanic ran a diagnostic on the ECU, and found that it was the airbag sensor not getting any power - this makes sense, because I have left the wires unplugged - the car seems to have a different connector to the seats I have put in there! The car seems to have a 3-pin connector (white/red, purple/white, brown), whereas the seats only have blue and white. Question is - what should I connect to what in order to get rid of the airbag light? I'm comfortable splicing wires, so no issues there. Cheers

Any chance of a photo of the bumper?

So the cracked front bumper on my E36 325i has finally decided to fall apart. One scrape pulling out of driveways too many. I have had a look around and figured I would go down the M3 bumper route. Looks pretty swish and looks like there's a couple going on Trademe for around $350. Comes in black so I'll need to get it painted to the factory silver. Any suggestions around who on the Shore is best for this sort of thing, and any idea on what sort of prices I can expect to pay for it to be painted? May get a couple of little scuff marks cleaned up while I'm at it too... Cheers

Used for 5000km, still in good nick. Upgraded my pads so bought new rotors. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=367888521

Ha late reply... Took the Jappa number plate surround off, looks much nicer. Auto, 160k.

Hey guys, Joined a while ago but failed to do an intro.... Bought a 325I about a year ago now and thought I'd get a little more involved in the Bimmersport community... So far car is running pretty well... minus typical E36 headliner issues...

I'm keen to replace mine - super saggy and starting to fall off at the rear. More than happy to do it myself but any ideas on where to purchase some replacement fabric?
