The light stays on even after the fault is corrected and you have to use a reset tool. A dealer or service guy who has the tool, can do it in three minutes flat, but if you don't know why the light came on, then they might insist on doing a diagnostic. Now, if you work on your car a lot and you want to buy the tool, it's a little over $100 and the tool will also tell you the fault code so you know where the problem is. The most common one to use for the BMW is the Peake R5, but there are cheaper universal ones as well.
Sorry to say this isn't just one of those 'short these two wires together' solutions, but there you go.

Can a 1999 BMW e46 airbag light be reset without a special tool?
