    Looking for some parts or where to buy some that are in NA but I'm desperate

    Well my 2000 BMW 323i has had a long road and never seen the street legally due to my insurance company SGI that has regulations that I can't have aftermarket parts on the car. I'll list here that are not legal to be safetied since the car was a total loss and was bought from salvage. Carbon Fiber hood and trunk, aftermarket headlights, foam piece under bumper (e46 M3 bumper) and coilovers. So I'm looking around for the stock parts for the car as well as does anyone know about bulbs on the instrument cluster dying? My brake light is off as well as my airbag one. I'm not surprised about the brake light due to having front AP racing brakes but I don't know what to due about it and the airbag light I have no idea what's the issue. Thanks

    Do the brakes have the wear sensor in them?

    Airbag on a salvage car is probably missing airbag.

    I'd have to take a better look at them but you have any idea where I should start looking for it like near the exterior on caliper or interior. Yea the interior was re done so the missing airbag would most likely be the issue thanks Ill update when I get some time to take a look.

    I did scan and the airbag didn't even show as a error code but now my 1-3 cylinders are miss firing (most likely spark plugs from really old gas).

    Sensors are on front-left and right-rear. Wire going into a pad, through the caliper's structure where you can see the rotor/pads.
