Purpose and Vehicle Placement

Thanks to its dedicated placement on the vehicle, the buckle works with the standard seat belt buckle and strap, allowing for secure fastening and easy release after the drive.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

The component belongs to the Seat Belts and Parts category, meaning it has been developed to meet stringent passive safety requirements. The applied design ensures:

• Stable mounting to the factory mounting points in the BMW body.
• Precise cooperation with the original seat belt tongue on the rear seat.
• Adequate strength to withstand loads during sudden braking or collision.

As a part from the BMW OEM system, the buckle is dimensionally and structurally matched to the factory installation, which limits the risk of looseness, improper alignment, or incomplete belt fastening.

Condition of the Part and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The product is offered as a used original BMW part. For many owners of youngtimers and cars from the years 1998–2012, choosing a tested used part is a sensible compromise between cost and maintaining the factory quality of the safety system.

In the case of seat belt buckles, it is particularly important to use components that are structurally compatible with the factory system. A used OEM part allows for maintaining:

• consistency of the safety system with other interior components,
• original operating parameters of the locking and release mechanism,
• aesthetic matching to the upholstery and equipment of the rear seat.

Application in BMW Restoration and Modernization

Owners of older generations of BMW often look for parts that will restore full interior functionality without altering the vehicle's structure. The BMW E93 Rear Seat Belt Buckle is suitable for both replacing a damaged buckle and for completing missing elements after previous body repairs or interior modifications.

If you are planning a broader scope of work on the passenger restraint system, it is worth considering selecting other components from the BMW Seat Belts and Parts category. Check available BMW seat belts and parts to complete the entire set of components compatible with your model.
