Not a button? Just a light I think.
If you open the passenger door, insert the key in the slot on the A-pillar and turn it, then this light will illuminate to tell you that the passenger airbag is disabled.

It’s the airbag light. Not on all models, my Z4M doesn’t have it.
It’s only on the lower powered 321bhp variants

As far as i know the S54 in the Z4M has always been around the 338BHP. The only car that 321BHP was the E36 M3 EVO variant, i'm guessing the S50 engine

Oh I assumed it was a sly dig at standard 3.0i owners and the 3 and 2 were round the wrong way.
Anyway, my mere 231bhp 3.0i has this facility fitted, but I've not seen it on any other models yet.

Sorry, couldn’t resist. It was 1st of April.
All the UK cars had the same bhp but only some have the airbag switch

I think it may have become standard in the UK some time in 2007 as all the later facelifts seem to have it - my 57 plate 1 Series did too.
