I'm getting code CC-ID 97 which looks like an airbag sensor issue for the passenger side of my 2009 328xi. This is very annoying. BMW stealership wants to charge my $199. just to diagnose when they could easily just tell me what the problem is.

Anybody here had this issue before/know what the fix is?

Hi there,
Probably the problem is at your passenger occupancy sensor, it is a common failure for E6X, E9X, E7X. Your issue has 2 answers:

1. New sensor mat. Or if you are lucky, the connector beneath your passenger seat just got loose , and just by reconnecting it and clearing the fault codes you can get away, small chance but worth trying.

2. Code the car without a passenger occupancy sensor.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I'll look into it.
