Purpose and Vehicle Placement
The presented seat belt for BMW E36 Sedan Touring is designed for the front right position in the cabin. It is responsible for securely holding the passenger in the seat during driving, braking, and in emergency situations, working in conjunction with other passive safety system components.
Its dedicated placement in the vehicle means that the geometry of the mounting points, the length of the webbing, and the angle of operation of the mechanism have been adapted to the body structure of the E36 sedan and touring versions, which facilitates installation and ensures correct operation at the original anchor points.
Technical and Functional Characteristics
The belt belongs to the category of Seat Belts and Parts, meaning it is an integral part of the passenger protection system. The construction includes components typical for this type of subassembly, such as a retractor, webbing, and mounting elements, designed to work with factory BMW mounting points.
Key functional features:
- Dedicated Application – the belt is prepared for use in the front right position, maintaining the correct guiding geometry.
- E36 Body Compatibility – adapted to the sedan and touring body structure, which promotes correct webbing positioning relative to the seat and pillar.
- Original BMW Origin – maintains factory manufacturing standards and integration with the vehicle's interior.
Application in BMW Service and Repairs
This component is particularly useful for:
- Post-Collision Repairs – replacing a damaged belt after the safety system has deployed.
- Restoring Full Interior Functionality – when the existing belt shows mechanical wear or issues with the retractor mechanism.
- Comprehensive BMW E36 Restoration – in projects to refresh classic examples where maintaining original design solutions is important.
By using an original component, you can maintain the vehicle's technical consistency, which is important for both safety and subsequent operation and potential technical inspections.
Product Condition and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part
The offered seat belt is a used original BMW part. Choosing this solution allows you to combine reasonable repair costs with the preservation of the factory design and fit for the specific model. For many E36 owners, this is a rational way to keep the car in good technical condition without having to resort to aftermarket replacements of uncertain origin.
A used, original seat belt is also a good option for projects where compliance with factory specifications and maintaining the character of a classic BMW are important, while also ensuring the functionality of basic safety systems.
