• lock the belt during sudden braking or impact, in accordance with the vehicle's safety system design.

The original OEM construction guarantees compatibility with the factory mounting points in the BMW E82 body and with standard interior components such as the seat, door panels, and pillar covers.

• Factory Fitment – maintains the correct belt position relative to the driver's chest and hips, without requiring modifications.
• Compatibility with Safety Systems – ensures proper interaction with pretensioners and other passive safety system components.
• Secure Mounting – utilizes original body mounting points, reducing the risk of looseness and malfunction.
• Consistent Interior Appearance – preserves the aesthetic consistent with the factory finish of the BMW E82 series.

• damage to the retractor mechanism or belt lock after a collision,
