Spun the car

Well the other day I spun my e46 at autocross. It was a pretty nasty spin. I think i flexed the chasis pretty bad and now the airbag light goes on and off randomly under normal driving.

anything i should be worried about? the car drives fine and I haven't noticed any potential problems. thanks!

I don't think it is something to worry about. If you haven't noticed any problems with how the car drives yo should be fine. Although I would suggest getting the airbag light checked. It's probably nothing but just because it would annoy the crap out of me having the light on I don't think it would hurt to have the light reset.

Did it come on right after you spun or later when you were driving? I would see if it is throwing any codes. I have spun in many cars and never seen or heard of it happening.

well i remember during the spin it was flashing,

but there's nothing wrong with the car as far as i can tell. still rides like a dream.

Well that's not very reassuring to see when you are spinning

Don't know then I would take it into BMW/indy shop
