The light will have to be turned off with a reset tool at a dealer, or by someone with the tool. It is likely that the fault code stored is due to a malfunctioning sensor in the drivers side seat belt connection. Part is around $175 with 1.5 hrs to install. It does have to be reset by either a mechanic or a BMW Stealer. The most common cause is the Passenger Occupancy Sensor Pad which affects 3 out of 5 Bmw's pre 2002. The cost of replacement is in excess of $500 but an alternative can be found on auction sites under BMW Airbag Sensor Bypass Unit.

How do you reset air bag light on BMW z3 1998?

I had this problem when I removed my seats for a thorough cleaning of the carpet. My airbag light came on after I reinstalled the seats. Here is a link for the R5/SRS code reader tool that can help you solve your airbag light problem. Please note that the tool cost is about the same as having to go to a qualified mechanic so if this is a one time need I suggest the mechanic.
