I have had this reset a couple of times now but generally a day later it comes back on. What is the general cause of this - poor connections under seat, steering wheel or elsewhere?

I will take it to a electrical expert but cannot believe the airbag itself has failed.

Any pointers appreciated.

It is normally the connection under seat.

Usually the loom under the passenger seat is too short, a temporary fix is don't move either seat forward or back once it's reset, there was a recall to extend the loom, it might be worth checking it was done.

ALright thanks for that. I will see if BMW Mini can help.

If you have reset the light you must know the cause. As everyone said, it will be the yellow plug under the seat. Easy fix is to disconnect the plug and use some Vaseline on the connection
