As a component from the Seat belts and parts group, the product includes a complete seat belt assembly with a retractor mechanism, ready to integrate with the vehicle's factory passive safety system. The construction has been developed to ensure:

• stable webbing guidance within typical seat and backrest adjustment ranges,
• proper cooperation with pretensioners and the body mounting system,
• adequate fastening ergonomics for the passenger in the front right seat.

Condition and Benefits of Using a Used Part

The seat belt is a used part from a dismantled vehicle and is offered as a used BMW part. This type of component allows for economical repair of the safety system while maintaining the manufacturer's original construction. Compared to low-cost aftermarket alternatives, an OEM part ensures compliance with the vehicle's original design specifications.

Using a used seat belt is particularly beneficial in cases of:

• post-accident repairs, where replacing a specific belt after system deployment is necessary,
• restoring full interior functionality after mechanical damage or upholstery modifications,
• maintaining the car's original character without introducing unforeseen modifications.

Safety and Technical Aspects of Installation

As a component of the passive safety system, the front right seat belt in the BMW E70/E71 is crucial for passenger protection. Proper installation should be performed according to the manufacturer's procedures, adhering to torque specifications and mounting order. It is recommended to entrust the installation to a specialized service center that will verify the mechanism's correct operation after installation.

When replacing the belt, pay attention to:

• the condition of the body mounting points and the absence of structural deformations,
• correct webbing routing through pillar guides and covers,
• visual consistency of the interior – selecting the appropriate color and texture of the part.
