You want to turn it off? If so removed the battery negative wire and remove the wire clip on the back of the bag. Be very careful that bag can mess you up bad if it deployes.

Disconnecting the airbag will make the airbag light go out?

Probably not, but we gave a couple more answers to different interpretations of the OP's question over at bimmerforums. I'm waiting for his follow up.

Figure out which airbag is bad/missing and put in the appropriate size resistor

Well, it could be a number of things causing the airbag light to come on. These cars are notorious for the passenger seat belt sensor going bad and causing a fault in the SRS. The best thing to do is get the code read somewhere so you can figure out what the problem is, but that will come with a price whether you take it to the dealer, or buy yourself a code reader. Most cost efficient method is to take the gauge cluster out, remove the bulb, then put a sticker or piece of opaque tape over the redundant airbag light bulb in there.

Thats pretty much my solution to any annoying cluster light, whatever the vehicle may be!
