I am experiencing regularly the air bag light coming on my dashboard. I have taken the car to numerous repairers including a top BMW agent - each time being assured the problem is solved. Have you heard of this problem or anyone else experiencing the same.
It sounds like the fault is being erased only and the computer reset which is, in most cases, a temporary fix.
The actual cause of the problem (and the warning light coming back on) can often be hard to locate and because of the high cost of replacement components, most garages are very reluctant to take the fit-and-hope option.
Have you tried looking for a non franchise BMW specialist in your area?
They often get to see and repair faults on the older models that the franchise Dealer may struggle with especially if your vehicle is a used import.
Another option is to make contact with the business listed below. They repair an awful lot of electronic components for the industry and may have come across this problem on your model before.
