Did these all happen at the exact same time? Start checking fuses to see if any are bad after that take a trip to a dealer and read out the codes in the computer.

Did you just buy it? If so, maybe someone installed a new steering wheel and didn't hook things up right? To me it sounds like a plug came loose inside the steering wheel assembly.

unplug the battery for about 15 minutes!

unpluging the battery for 15 min would remove the airbag light? I dont think so right?

Try starting your X and in park turn your wheel all the way to the left then all the way to the left. (turns off some lights)
But it most probably is something like SuperGreg decribed. All your problems are related to the steering wheel harness.

seems like the problem might be the wiring loom in the sterring wheel / column
the dealer tells me it has happened a few times with other X5's before, although not common it seems sometimes full lock can snap various wires in the loom
so new loom getting fitted today and touch wood car back ready to roll
