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.
For the airbag light to turn off, you'll need to repair the cause of the airbag malfunction, or disable the airbag by using a BMW scan tool or other software.
When the airbag light comes in in a car, it means that there is a problem with the airbag. In order to get the light turned off, one must take it to a technician.
The airbag light can be reset by resetting the entire control display on most cars. This is the same for a Z3 BMW.
Disconnecting the battery is the easiest way. Then disconnect the airbag.
Uh oh. Don't drive that car anymore. The airbag is broken and might go off at any time. You need to get a new airbag (or car)

The BMW E36 cars do come standard with an airbag. This awesome car also has a safety light to let you know that your airbag is on and working properly.
No, it's not in the seat, it's in the dashboard in front of the passenger.
The standard 2001 BMW z3 Coupe does not have a switch to turn off the airbags. However, you can have this switch installed by the dealer as an upgrade.
The emergency fuel shut off switch is located inside the airbag control module on the BMW M5. When the airbag is deployed, the switch will turn off the fuel pump.
No, you must use an SRS reset tool or go to the BMW dealer and have them reset the airbag sensor light. There's no way of doing it without the tool. I've tried jumpering wires to reset but never worked.
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.
