Intended Use and Fitment for BMW E90 / E91 LCI

The presented front left seat belt has been designed for the BMW 3 Series E90 / E91 generation after the facelift (LCI). Its placement in the vehicle is clearly defined as the front left side, which simplifies the selection of the correct component for replacement after a collision, pretensioner activation, or wear and tear.

This part belongs to the Seat Belts and Parts group, ensuring full compatibility with the factory mounting points, guides, and interior covers characteristic of this body series.

Construction, Color, and Interior Integration

The belt is finished in a grey color, allowing for an aesthetically pleasing integration into the original BMW interior, especially in configurations with light or neutral upholstery. The grey shade minimizes the visibility of typical signs of use while remaining consistent with the factory specifications of many equipment versions.

The belt mounting system is adapted for installation in the front cabin on the driver's side. The applied design allows for proper belt routing, maintaining the correct working angle, and interaction with the factory anchor points in the vehicle's pillar and floor.

Function within the Vehicle's Safety System

Seat belts and parts are responsible for maintaining the driver's body in the correct position during sudden braking or collision. A properly selected front left seat belt:

• stabilizes the driver's position relative to the seat and steering wheel, reducing the risk of forward movement towards the dashboard,
• interacts with other vehicle safety systems (including airbags), ensuring predictable system operation,
• maintains appropriate belt tension during normal driving and in emergency situations, in accordance with BMW's design specifications.

By preserving the factory mounting geometry, the belt does not alter the safety system's operating characteristics, which is crucial for both driver protection and compliance with technical inspection requirements.

Condition, Origin, and Practical Application

The offered component is an original BMW component from the aftermarket. Used seat belts of this type are often chosen as an economical solution for post-accident repairs when only a specific section of the system needs replacement, without affecting other interior elements.

Before installation, standard verification of the retractor mechanism's proper function and compatibility check with the specific vehicle's equipment is recommended. A correctly selected and functional belt allows for the restoration of full safety system functionality on the driver's side.
