Vehicle Application and Function

The presented upper seat belt with force limiter has been specifically designed for the BMW 3 Series E92 body. It is mounted on the front left side, allowing for precise fitting to the pillar structure, seat, and factory mounting points in this model.

The force limiter integrated into the belt is responsible for controlled load transfer to the passenger's body during sudden braking or collision. This allows the safety system to cooperate more effectively with airbags and the body structure, enhancing user protection in critical situations.

Construction and Color Matching

The belt is made in a grey color, enabling seamless integration with the original upholstery and interior trim of the BMW 3 Series E92 in this shade. The neutral color helps maintain a consistent cabin aesthetic, without visible differences between the new part and other interior components.

As a component from the seat belts and parts category, this item is designed to work with factory mountings and belt guides, facilitating stable installation and ensuring the correct path of the belt relative to the seat and passenger's posture.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Seat Belt

• Full Integration with E92 Body – the belt is structurally matched to the geometry of the pillar and seat in the BMW 3 Series E92, simplifying installation and ensuring proper mechanism operation.
• Belt Force Limiter – the incorporated mechanism allows for more controlled operation of the safety system, supporting the protection of the passenger's chest and torso.
• Interior Visual Consistency – the grey color of the webbing and trim elements helps maintain a uniform cabin appearance, without the need to modify other components.
• Original BMW Design – using a component from the same product line as the factory equipment promotes predictable operation of the safety system.

Condition, Installation, and Service Application

The item is offered as a used seat belt, providing a cost-effective service solution for accident repairs, replacement of a damaged belt, or restoring the completeness of the safety system in the BMW 3 Series E92. Choosing an original used component allows for maintaining the correct operational characteristics of the mechanism while optimizing costs.

Due to the importance of seat belts for user protection, installation by a qualified service center is recommended, following manufacturer procedures and verifying the correct operation of the retractor mechanism and force limiter after installation.
