Intended Use and Fitment for BMW X5 F15 / X6 F16

The presented upper front left seatbelt buckle has been developed specifically for BMW X5 F15 and BMW X6 F16 models. Its placement on the vehicle is specified as front – left side, which facilitates unambiguous identification of the correct mounting point on the body.

The original BMW design guarantees:

• correct seatbelt routing relative to the seat and body pillar,
• maintenance of the factory safety system geometry,
• compatibility with the standard mountings in the given model.

Construction and Function of the Component

The upper seatbelt buckle is responsible for stable belt webbing guidance and maintaining the correct working angle relative to the user's torso. This ensures the safety system:

• limits undesirable belt webbing abrasion on the body edges,
• ensures predictable belt behavior during sudden braking or collision,
• maintains a comfortable belt position on the shoulder and chest.

As a component from the seatbelts and parts group, the buckle cooperates with other system components (pretensioner, retractor, belt webbing) without interfering with their operating parameters, but by providing them with stable guidance and support.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Using a Used OEM Part

The offered seatbelt buckle is an original BMW part from dismantling, in used condition. This type of component, when properly maintained, retains its functional properties for a long time, making it a rational choice for servicing the safety system in vehicles several years old.

Using a used OEM part allows for:

• maintaining technical consistency with the rest of the safety system,
• preserving the factory manufacturing standard characteristic of BMW,
• optimizing repair costs while maintaining the original specification.

Safety, Installation, and Good Service Practices

When replacing the upper seatbelt buckle in a BMW X5 F15 / X6 F16, adhering to the manufacturer's procedures is crucial. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a workshop experienced with safety systems in BMW vehicles, which allows for:

• ensuring correct tightening of mounting points in accordance with technical guidelines,
• verifying the condition of cooperating belt components (webbing, retractor, pretensioner),
• checking the correct belt routing after installation is complete.

After installation, a visual inspection and a test adjustment of the belt length are recommended to ensure that the buckle does not generate additional resistance and does not cause the webbing to twist.
