According to the WDS and other documentation, the airbag will fire at all times unless it is turned off by the KEY.
What the mat provides is a way to moderate the force of the upper passenger airbag deployment. If the mat is OOC, then the airbag fires at full force.
I cannot believe that in this lawsuit happy country we live in, ANYONE would believe that BMW would be that 'monumentally stupid' as to automatically deactivate an airbag because of a fault in another part of the SRS system.
I have only heard of ONE instance that a BMW airbag has not deployed and that airbag was 14 years old. Airbags only have a service life of 10 years.
