What car is it on. I dont think this is normal. Mine's a 330CI, it comes on when the engine start and goes off like every other light.

It usually means that you have a sensor failure and the airbags within the car are not active. Pop along to see a BMW specialist and wiyhin a few minutes you will have an answer regarding parts or wiring.

If there is a fault in the system permenant or sporadic which causes the light to come on then it should stay on,even if the fault is there for 3 mins and rights itself.
Check the fault memory if theres nothing there then it sounds like a coding issue with the control unit.Try a re-program of the MRS control unit

Dont know about BMWs but quite a lot of mileage correction people can reset the airbag ecu which cures warning lights on most cars.
