Purpose and Fitment for BMW E36

The presented BMW Rear Right Lap Belt has been specifically designed for E36 series models. Its placement on the vehicle, specified as rear – right side, allows for unambiguous fitting of the component to its specific mounting location, making the job easier for mechanics and DIY car owners.

Thanks to the factory geometry of the mounts and compatibility with the original BMW interior construction, the belt works with existing anchor points in the body, ensuring stable seating and predictable performance during use.

Construction and Function of the Lap Belt

The lap belt is responsible for stabilizing the lower body of the passenger during driving and in emergency situations. Mounted on the rear seat on the right side, it is an integral part of the vehicle's passive safety system. The design intended by BMW manufacturer ensures:

• Ergonomic webbing routing within the rear seat cushion area, which reduces the risk of improper belt positioning on the passenger's body.
• Proper force distribution in case of sudden braking or collision, supporting the protection of the pelvis and lower torso.
• Compatibility with factory mounting points in the BMW E36 body, without the need for structural modifications.

This solution allows for consistency with the original manufacturer's design and maintains predictable vehicle behavior in critical situations.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The lap belt is offered as a used BMW part, which represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining the original vehicle specifications. A component of this type is particularly attractive for older generations, such as the E36, where the availability of new components can be limited, and original parts from dismantling often fit the character of the vehicle better.

Choosing a used lap belt allows for:

• Reduced service costs while maintaining the original BMW construction.
• Easier visual matching with other interior elements that also show signs of wear.
• Restoration of the complete safety system in the car after accident repairs or replacement of worn-out components.

Application in Repairs and Upgrades

The BMW E36 Rear Right Lap Belt is suitable for both standard replacement of a worn-out part and for accident repairs, where restoring the full functionality of the rear seat is necessary. Thanks to its original BMW OE origin, the belt maintains compatibility with other safety system components, such as body anchor points or other belts on the rear seat.

For extensive service work, it is advisable to consider a comprehensive inspection of all seat belts in the vehicle to ensure a consistent level of protection for every passenger.
