Intended Use and Fitment for BMW X3 G01 / F97 and X4 G02 / F98

The presented rear left seat belt buckle has been specifically designed for BMW X3 G01 / F97 and BMW X4 G02 / F98 models. This means the part retains the factory mounting geometry, appropriate length, and working angle, which translates to correct belt guidance and stable buckle fastening.

Its placement in the rear – left side area allows for precise identification of the mounting position, which is crucial when replacing a single component in the seat belt system. This enables the replacement of only the damaged component without affecting other mounting points.

Construction and Function of the Belt Fastening Element

The rear left buckle/latch plays a key role in the daily use of the vehicle, responsible for:

• Secure belt fastening – stable holding of the belt tongue in the working position, without play or accidental unbuckling,
• Correct force distribution during braking – transferring loads to the body structure according to the manufacturer's specifications,
• User ergonomics – convenient access to the buckle for the rear left passenger.

As a component from the original BMW system, the buckle works in conjunction with factory seat belts, maintaining the cohesion of the entire safety system.

Characteristics of a Used Product

The offered seat belt buckle is a used part, representing a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining original BMW quality. In practice, this means:

• Factory origin – a part removed from a vehicle, not a replacement from an unknown manufacturer,
• Preserved OEM construction – compliance with BMW's design requirements regarding durability and mounting method,
• Economical restoration of functionality – the ability to repair the belt system without the need to purchase a new set.

For many users, this is a practical solution that allows for maintaining a high level of safety at controlled service costs.

Safety, Installation, and Service Application

Replacement of the rear left seat belt buckle is recommended wherever there has been:

• Mechanical damage (cracked housing, latching issues),
• Wear of the locking mechanism (difficulty inserting or releasing the belt),
• Post-accident repairs, where inspection and potential replacement of safety system components are recommended.

Due to its importance for passenger protection, installation should be performed following BMW service procedures, with the correct torque applied to mounting bolts and verification of the mechanism's correct operation after installation.
