• preserve the factory performance characteristics of the safety system,
• minimize the risk of incorrect belt tension when working with other system components.

Fitment for BMW 5 Series E60/E61

The limiter has been developed with the BMW 5 Series E60/E61 platform in mind, ensuring it fits factory mounting points and integrates with the original wiring harness and seat structure. Using a component that aligns with the manufacturer's design allows for:

• consistency with the airbag and pretensioner systems,
• proper seat belt routing geometry relative to the passenger's body,
• compatibility with factory settings and calibration of safety systems.

Color and Interior Integration

The component is finished in a beige color, enabling aesthetic integration with light-colored interiors of the BMW 5 Series E60/E61. This ensures the seat belt force limiter does not disrupt the cabin's stylistic coherence and allows for:

• maintaining uniform upholstery and trim color,
• seamless integration with factory interior trim elements,
• professional restoration of the original interior appearance after repair or replacement of safety system components.

Product Characteristics and Practical Application

The offered limiter belongs to the category of seat belts and parts, meaning it is an integral component of the passenger protection system, not a decorative element. As a used BMW part, it provides:

• preservation of the original safety system design without altering the manufacturer's project,
• economical repair options while maintaining components that comply with factory standards,
• easier installation due to its fit with standard mounting points and belt guides.

This solution is particularly recommended for post-accident repairs, replacement of damaged seat belt system components, or restoring the full functionality of the front passenger seat.

Why Choose Original Used BMW Safety Components

For sensitive components like seat belts and parts, many users opt for original used parts from disassembly rather than aftermarket alternatives with uncertain parameters. A properly selected used OEM part allows for:

• maintaining the factory safety standards intended by the manufacturer,
• preserving full compatibility with the vehicle's electronics and mechanics,
• optimizing repair costs without compromising on original construction.

If you are considering whether to choose a refurbished or a used original part, it is worth reading the guide: Refurbished or Used Original – Which Part to Choose for Repairs?, which details the differences between these solutions.
