Seatbelt Adjustment B Pillar Gone??
Guys - had my E70 for a couple weeks and generally love it apart from the odd minor gripe (and the lumps taken out of my front left 20 inch rim by the missus on day 12
)One of the gripes is the seatbelts - am I missing something or can you really not change the height of the seat belt point on the B-Pillar? You could in my E53 up and down by about 6 inches. Both my wife and I are quite short and the belt ends up digging in our necks even with the seat lifted up high. Which dumb-ass at BMW decided to remove such a simple and useful feature??

I think the Edmunds.com and the Consumer Reports revews menioned this shortcoming. I guess it saved a few $$ to leave it out.

I think this dumb-ass must be working at BMW for quite a while now because it's the same thing on my 2004 E61
...Luckily the standard height works for me... I'm surprised that my wife didn't complain about this as she's about 7 inches shorter than I am... but wait, I don't let her drive my BMW...

It's annoying. I complained here somewhere too. I'm 5'7" or so and it hits me in the neck. It could strangle a short person.

What about the short sun visors? Have you ever driven towards the sun after about 3 PM (summer). You better have a good pair of sunglasses because the visors are only about 4.5" from top to bottom. Or, you could raise the seat up until your head gets close to the roof. Wait a minute, that might solve the seatbelt issue!

wow, the belt holder actually looks good (not just aesthetically but functionally) I might try it. Thanks for the info- but is it easy to install?

Installation is as easy as it can be. Just remove the headrest and push the belt holder on the rods of your headrest. |
