My 2007 525xi has encountered the same problem covered by nhtsa campaign 08v384000 in 2008 which disables the front airbag. My for recall in that campaign ended in 2006. I was able to verify with bmw that the part number for the seat to repair the issue in my2007 is the same as my2006.

2007 bmw 525xi model not limited to or exclusive of this make/model but has a known issue where a red light indicator appears on the dash signaling an electronic steering column fault has occurred, do not turn the engine off or the car may not be able to be started again, contact your local bmw service department. This has yet to make it on the nhtsa database as an official recall but i have researched and made note of several hundred customers experiencing this same issue on their bmw. This could leave you in a dangerous position if you needed to leave an area and were unable to start your car and it could leave you stranded as it could cause a no start situation.
