Just let me know when you guys have figured out the reset on my BMW airbag system. As far as I know, the airbag check light needs to be reset with a mfg's proprietary reset tool. Some shops have these reset tools and all dealers have them.
I removed a side airbag to repair a window regulator and now drive with the light on.
you might check one of the BWM forums. On my mercedes, it's a similar situation, service interval and airbag need a special tool. and I was able to buy a tool on ebay for about $50 that will reset the service interval along with the airbag. I use it to reset the service interval since I do my own service. Haven't had to use it on the airbag.
I had the airbag light come on in my MB and the stealer said they couldn't communicate with the computer and it needed to be replaced ($350) first. I just pulled the bulb.:M
