This is default. It should actually be S3 if I'm not mistaken. This cannot be changed and is discussed in your manual. I agree though, it would be nice if this was set it and forget it, but that's a discussion to be had with BMW. EDIT: The M button is the alternative solution here, but you still have to push the button.

It'll go away on its own after a short while, 30-60 seconds. This is a legal disclaimer of sorts and cannot be defeated unless you modify your firmware aftermarket (if that's even done anymore).

I know you don't want to hear this.... FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT!!! Most lethal accidents happen within a few blocks of home. My mother was almost killed when I was young but her seat belt saved her life. Please wear it always. I can't even bring myself to drive across the street without putting it on, but that's me
But to answer your question without bias, as a safety matter and liability issue, I doubt anything can be done with this short of the possibility the stock switch can mute it, as someone already mentioned. There may also be some new law on the books that requires this too, not sure but remember vaguely.
