Boot (Trunk) Fuse Assembly

....What I do suggest: is NOT to take the problem to the BMW ‘dealership’,only as a last resort,  as there are two tests at a cost of £50 a throw. One was for an MOT style test, but without the MOT Certificate and the other for an electrical analysis - I had a number of problems and these were with: a) Airbag Light (mat under front passenger seat, rear) as well as: b) the elusive battery drain. I knew about the airbag light remaining on and I did mention this at the time to the 'Stealership', sorry' Dealership!

So, they did the MOT styled test and suggested there was a fault with the Airbag light as the light remained on, I knew that as I could see that.... and then they continued to tell me it would cost me another £50 for an electrical analysis to find out about my battery drain problem. To rub salt into the wound they suggested the airbag problem could be rectified by paying them £480 for a new passenger mat and sensor. Obviously this was a case of 'rip off dealership consumer service', I was not happy and disappointingly they have lost my future custom.
