The car was parked and I drove it like this for like 2 months before I replaced the door... the error came after I removed the door and unplugged the module.

The problem might not be with the module or harness then.
Yeah threw me off too after I read about seat sensor and a million other things. I was surprised it was the BST way in the trunk even. Check that cable to see if you have any weird bends in it like mine did.

Okay, I will try to find someone that parts out an e60/ e61 and try the cable. I'm gonna talk to him... to let me install the cable and try to clear the error and if it works I will buy it.

BST wiring is not a separate cable (I wish it was). Its part of the positive battery cable.

So...after months and months of searching and troubleshooting... I bought another door module, cleared the codes...but still had an Airbag light on but no error codes in INPA. The new door didn't have the spacers to mount the module so I made them myself. First time they were too big but I didn't know they were important which size they are. So original ones are 9mm and what I had was 20mm. I cut them...and after inspecting the Yellow plug you can see it's not rlly plugged in. I thought it was but in the plug in the module there is a small black clip. You HAVE to REMOVE it to install it on the plug and then plug it in the module. It has to make 2 CLICKS.
I coded the new module with the car VIN and then removed it, couldn't code the VIN in the old Module for whatever reasons.
Removed the battery again and plugged the old module back again with the BLACK clip removed and put it on the YELLOW plug to do the 2 CLICKS.
Installed everything back in and I didn't even had to clear any Airbag faults. But to be sure I cleared them again and the Airbag fault didn't come after that. I hope it won't come on again in a few days/ weeks.
Hope maybe it can help someone. As you can see in the first post is the pic with the module... The YELLOW Plug is clearly not rlly plugged in. It did only ONE click and I thought that was it! BUT IT HAS TO DO 2 CLICKS!
Thanks to everybody that tried to help me
