The airbag and seatbelt icon in the cluster was on along with the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" on the roof console (with or without a front passenger) on my '06 325i at 123,XXX mi. VIN# doesn't show any recalls on the BMW or NHSTA site. I sent a message to BMW NA telling them what happened and they replied next day with this:

"BMW has extended the limited warranty on this vehicle for the Supplemental Restraint System's (SRS) front passenger air bag seat occupancy sensor (OC3) mat to 15 years without mileage limitation as determined from the original in-service date."

Took it to the dealership and it was in fact the sensor mat so it was covered. Otherwise, would've been a 199.00 diagnostic fee. There's nothing wrong with the actual airbag so it wasn't a recall, but that the OC3 mat was covered under warranty.

This was my experience, hope this helps anyone going thru it now.
