Purpose and Function of the Component

The Elfenbeinweiss colour allows for an aesthetic match with appropriate BMW interior trim variants, without compromising the cabin's styling.

Its original BMW origin promotes compliance with factory requirements for durability, geometry, and ease of use. The user receives a component designed specifically for the vehicle body type, eliminating the need for adaptation or modifications.

Condition, Installation, and Practical Application

The item is offered as a used OEM component, allowing for an economical replacement of a damaged or faulty buckle while maintaining original specifications. Installation is performed at the manufacturer-designated location, using the factory mounting points on the rear bench. This ensures:

• minimal service time,
• no need for interior structure modifications,
• preservation of the functionality of the rear centre seat.
