It is a common problem with the early model e90/92s. There is a mat under the front seat that detects the presence of an occupant and activates the airbag. The sensors on the mat go bad and trigger this message. It's a "safety concern" so this will be fixed by the dealership free of charge. Had mine fixed for free last year even though the car was out of warranty (06, 330i). There is a TSB for it somewhere on the site. Please do a search with the exact error message.
