Seat Belt Buckle Purpose and Function

The presented buckle is a component of the passive safety system, responsible for the mechanical fastening and retention of the seat belt in the rear of the body. A correctly chosen buckle guarantees proper cooperation with the belt, minimizing the risk of incorrect fastening and increasing passenger protection during sudden braking or collision.

Its placement in the rear of the vehicle means this component is dedicated to the rear seats, where stable and repeatable operation of the locking mechanism is required. This allows the safety system to maintain parameters close to factory specifications.

Construction and Compatibility with BMW Models

The buckle has been designed by BMW as part of the seat belt system, adhering to the manufacturer's standards regarding geometry, mounting points, and latch operation characteristics. This means:

• precise fit to the rear seat structure in the relevant E87, E90, E91, E92 series models,
• compatibility with the factory belt anchor, which reduces the risk of looseness and improper fastening,
• consistency with the original BMW safety system, without the need for mounting modifications.

As a part from the Seat Belts and Parts category, the buckle works with factory seat belts, maintaining their functionality and the manufacturer's intended operation.

Usage Characteristics and Benefits of Application

A used seat belt buckle is a solution that allows for the restoration of full system functionality while maintaining a favorable cost-to-quality ratio. Key benefits include:

• restoration of the factory belt fastening function in the rear of the vehicle after damage or wear of the previous component,
• maintenance of original mounting geometry, which is important for proper belt routing and passenger comfort,
• compatibility with the BMW safety system, without interfering with the body or seat structure.

Using original parts from this group helps maintain the consistency of the entire safety system, which is particularly important in vehicles used daily and in cars where children are transported.

Application in Service and Post-Accident Repairs

The BMW E87 E90 E91 E92 Rear Seat Belt Buckle Latch is suitable for both standard replacement of a worn-out part and for post-accident repairs, where restoring the full functionality of the rear seat belt system is necessary. In practice, this means:

• the ability to restore correct buckle operation after the safety system has deployed,
• maintaining predictable seat belt system behavior in accordance with the manufacturer's design,
