Seatbelt swap?

gixxerboy63 · 10-29-2023, 12:48 PM

Has anyone replaced their seatbelts?
How much of a task is it to replace them?

I have a light interior with light colored seatbelts and wish to switch the seatbelts out to a contrasting color... black (or even better: black belts with M stitching!)

If you know of anyone is looking to sell their black ones, please let me know!!!

Thanks!

I've had the M seat belts and thought they were a waste of money. Now that my new X5 just has plain black ones, I miss the M belts.

Oh the little details

You can change them, but of course altering one of the primary safety systems in your vehicle is probably not advisable.

I found this company who can change the webbing for you... its about $150/ea for OEM Mstripe swap ($750 for all 5). You have to remove your seat belts and send the seatbelt assembly to them and they have a 24-hour turnaround. There are YouTube videos on how to remove and replace them.

There is also a vendor on ebay that can do the same for about half of that cost... but I cannot stand ebay's policies.

The caveat being that these materials or their stitching is not safety certified.

I've had the seatbelt replaced on the driver side due to warranty on my old F15 X5. They became all frayed. Its just a case of removing the upper and lower b-pillar trim, the door sill trim and then removing/replacing the seatbelt assembly.

Its not a complex job. I would estimate about 2 hours of labor. The G05 really isn't any different in terms of seatbelts compared to F15.
