Problem overview

Some BMW 325xi owners report experiencing issues such as jerking at a red light, limp mode activation, and an illuminated airbag light. The activation of limp mode, which restricts vehicle functionality due to detected faults, often leads to reduced engine power and jerky acceleration, making the vehicle struggle to maintain a consistent RPM when stationary. Additionally, the presence of the airbag light may indicate further complications within the vehicle's safety systems, which could jeopardize passenger safety. It is crucial for owners experiencing these symptoms to seek inspection from a qualified mechanic or BMW specialist to diagnose and address the underlying issues promptly.
