Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing Genuine BMW Parts

The part comes from the BMW offering and is an OEM class part, meaning it maintains factory standards of manufacturing, fitment, and compatibility with the vehicle's safety systems. The product is used, making it an economical solution while preserving the original manufacturer's specifications.

Choosing an original BMW seat belt buckle ensures:

• Factory fitment – no need for modifications to mounts or seat installation.
• Consistency with the safety system – compatibility with the belt and seat structure in the given model.
• Reduced risk of installation problems – predictable installation in place of the old part.

Why Replace a Seat Belt Buckle in a BMW?

A worn or damaged seat belt buckle can make fastening the belt difficult, cause slack in the buckle, or not work correctly with pretensioners and safety systems. Replacing it with an original front right BMW buckle allows you to restore:

• secure belt buckle locking during driving and in emergency situations,
• comfort of daily use – smooth belt fastening and unfastening,
• compliance with the manufacturer's design assumptions regarding passive safety.
