BMW X2 Airbag Light + Rollover Sensor Mystery Help

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my 2020 BMW X1 (previously owned an X3 too). I've got some experience working on cars, but mainly basic maintenance stuff. The airbag warning light drove me crazy too! Turned out it was a faulty control unit. Took it to my trusted mechanic who diagnosed it properly with their diagnostic tools. The repair involved replacing the control unit and recalibrating the system. Cost me around 1000 Euro but totally worth it for the peace of mind. Could you share more details about your X2? Like the exact error code you're getting and whether you've noticed any other electrical issues? This could help pinpoint if you're dealing with the same problem I had. Just make sure to get it checked soon, anything airbag-related shouldn't be ignored. Let me know if you need more specific info about my repair experience!

Thanks for sharing your experience! My X2 just hit 176858 KM and had its latest service last month. The error code I'm getting is B0097, and I haven't noticed any other electrical issues besides the soft top glitch. It's really helpful to know about your control unit situation, that might be exactly what I'm dealing with. Did your mechanic mention how long the repair took? I'm trying to plan whether I'll need a rental car or if it's a quick fix. I'm also wondering if this is something covered under warranty since my car is still relatively new.

Hey again! Thanks for sharing those details about your X2. Actually, when my mechanic fixed my control unit issue, the whole repair took about 4-5 hours. The most time-consuming part was the system recalibration after installing the new unit. That error code B0097 sounds really familiar, it's exactly what I had! Since your car is a 2022 model, you should definitely check your warranty coverage. Mine was just out of warranty when this happened, which is why I had to pay out of pocket. You might be luckier with timing! One thing I forgot to mention in my previous reply, before replacing the control unit, my mechanic initially tried resetting the system, but the warning light came back on within a day. That's when we knew it needed a proper replacement. The soft top issue you're experiencing also makes sense now, these systems are all interconnected through the main control unit. Have you noticed if the warning light acts differently when it's particularly cold or wet? Mine used to be more problematic in those conditions before I got it fixed. Would be interested to know if you're experiencing something similar.

Thanks everyone for the helpful responses! After reading your experiences, I'm feeling a bit more confident about what I might be dealing with. I did notice the warning light seems to act up more during damp weather, which matches what you mentioned. I just checked my warranty paperwork, and it looks like I'm still covered for another 8 months, what a relief! I called the dealership and scheduled an appointment for next week. They mentioned they'd need the car for at least half a day, so I'll definitely arrange for a rental. Fingers crossed it's just the control unit like in your case. I'll keep you all posted on what they find and how the repair goes. Really appreciate all the detailed info about your experiences, it's super helpful when dealing with these technical issues!
