    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

    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
