Interesting repair...
My airbag and seatbelt lights were staying on, so I took my 135 vert in for service. They determined that the driver side seatbelt pretensioner was defective. Easy enough to fix. Except they didn't have the part in stock and it had to come via ground because it has an explosive charge in it to tighten the seat belt in an accident. Since it was a safety issue, they had to keep the car and give me a loaner. When my friends asked me where my car was, I had to say, "It's in the shop because the bomb in my car wasn't working properly." :biggrin:

I had the same exact problem/issue. Dealer kept the car for 10 days until the part arrived, supposedly from off the line in Germany.

A 2008 TiAg 328i. It was fine, but I had to stop at toll booths instead of using the SunPass lanes.

Just wanted to update this thread. I had to take my 135 back 3 times for the same problem. The repair would be okay for a couple of weeks then flash the airbag light. Turns out the trouble is in the wiring harness. they had to get into it and rewire part of it. All is okay now. Hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.
