Racing seat

I have an extra seat occupancy mat for airbag. I was thinking about running some recaros I have and I was wondering if I can just plug in the mat on the passenger side and throw it under the seat so I can avoid the airbag light?!...
Do you have to code 0C3 sensor in when you install a new one?
And last but not least is there a way to code out the OC3 like for example if you were to run BMW performance seats or something

What about just getting an M3?

e92ben · 09-29-2011, 10:12 AM

Anyone have a knowledgable answer??

your idea might work, but there are also side airbags in our seats, so you'd need to figure out how that circuit works.

you are an intelligent person

^ haha.

I had a recaro in my car for a bit. I recently took it out to put it in my E46 (car I originally bought it for anyways). From what I learned, you have two options: EAS OC3 module, or coding out the airbag light. Haven't heard of people using spare occupancy mats though. At least in E90's.

So weird man this has nothing to do with buying owning or having an M3?!
And anyhow I have a e46 M3!! so get over it haha. I love my 335. There's nothing wrong with liking my car.

Yah macht schnell oc3 sim or whatever it is but I was wondering if I can just use mine bc it would save 2-300 bucks ya know..

You have any info about coding it out?!

Someone has obviously never owned an M3

Tell you what.....you drive an e92 M3 and I'll drive a Spec Miata, I almost guarentee my lap times will smoke yours.

And seriously, M3 is a better daily driver? What ever you are smoking, I want.

OP, hope you find an intelligent answer that is on-topic.

Thank you sir

You can code out the occupancy sensor. That's the easiest way.

No, I have not owned an M3 but I can tell that the OP is trying to turn his 335i basically into one. With the whole Spec Miata, are you suggesting the OP would be better off with one of those as a dedicated track car and another car as a daily driver? If so I cannot agree anymore; I do not think your DD should be a hardcore tracker because something will happen and you will be car-less. But I do stand firm, a stock M3 will be better than a 335i-modded-almost-M3 as a daily driver.

How am I trying to turn my car into an M3?! Bc I want info on an airbag light? Bc I want recaros in it? Because I have a rip in my bolster and these seats suck ass for holding me in to begin with?
Which one is it?! I like recaros alot and they would help when I'm in a spirited driving mood or when I'm in a daily kinda mood... This is far from a M3 conversion thread. Even tho I've stated I own an M3, I love my 335i. I don't want it to be a M3 lol
