Hi, instead of starting another new topic I thought I'd ask here. I've recently had a burst air bag and replaced both of them however it has thrown up a sensor fault also and they won't fill. Just picked up the sensor from Bmw, can anyone tell me is the sensor fitted in the rear passenger or driver side wheel arch? Thanks

both sides have one. ive probably said it a hundred times but should have ripped the whole system out and replaced with coil springs and just delete the inactive message from the dash. much cheaper and youll never have a suspension prob again

Out of interest what did BMW charge for a sensor?
