Intended Use and Fitment

The presented BMW F01 F02 LCI Seat Belt Buckle belongs to the Seat Belts and Parts category and is intended for installation on the rear left side of the vehicle. Its design has been specifically developed for the BMW 7 Series platform, ensuring correct positioning relative to the seat, bench, and floor mounting points.

This component works in conjunction with the factory seat belt and the seat belt reminder system, maintaining the full functionality of the passive safety system in the vehicle.

Construction and Technical Function

The seat belt buckle is a key component of the seat belt fastening system, responsible for:

• securely locking the belt buckle during driving and in emergency situations,
• interfacing with the seat belt sensor (if present in the specific vehicle configuration),
• stable connection to the seat or body structure, according to factory mounting points.

The original BMW construction ensures proper geometry and rigidity, which is crucial for correct belt routing and predictable performance of the safety system in the event of a collision.

Condition, Origin, and Application

The offered BMW Left Rear Seat Belt Buckle is a used part from a dismantled vehicle. This type of OEM component is valued for:

• factory fitment for the specific model – no installation or fitment issues,
• maintaining original operating parameters of the safety system,
• favorable cost-to-quality ratio compared to non-original aftermarket alternatives.

Prior to installation, it is recommended to perform a standard verification of the vehicle's installation and compare the shape and type of the buckle with the currently installed part to confirm full compatibility.

Benefits of Using an Original Seat Belt Buckle

Choosing an original seat belt buckle for the BMW 7 Series F01/F02 LCI helps maintain the integrity of the entire safety system. The most significant benefits include:

• adherence to factory safety standards set by the vehicle manufacturer,
• no modification to the seat or body structure – installation in original mounting points,
• compatibility with vehicle electronics (seat belt warning light, potential fastening reminder systems),
• consistent interior appearance due to the use of a component from the same model line.

This solution is particularly recommended for post-accident repairs, replacement of a damaged buckle, or restoring the full functionality of the rear bench seat.
