Both my seatbelt butlers broke in the last couple of weeks, I did a YouTube video which was a fix for a bit but now there completely gone..
I was pm'd a webpage on the old site for a german parts crowd that you put in the part number but my pm's are now gone...
Or would anyone know of anywhere else to get them except a dealer..
Thanks

17 EUR delivery for one or many parts. Also there is a PayPal charge too. But it can still be cheaper than the dealer even factoring these costs in.
Flip there €219 each off there also 😁 May try fix them again first or maybe check a few beakers... That would be over €500 to fix both which is madness BUT it's very annoying that there not working
TIL they are called seat butlers :D Even when they work they they miss the seatbelt regularly.
Another option would be to code them out, what is the exact problem? Is it just no longer catching? Is the spring too weak? The spring mechanism is about 60-70 quid I think, rather than the whole arm.
the part is €60 from bmw and a 5 minute fix
Wouldn't spend it, for it to happen again. It's a shite design, and a similarly shite function. Spend the money on fuel and go for a spin.
What's a seat belt butler?
Little guy in the back that hands you the seatbelt so you don't have to lean back
And you have to feed him a bucket of fish heads once a week [emoji23]Quote:

They're standard on all e92s, I like them, I'm a sucker for stuff like that :p but yea... I don't think I've seen an e92 with ones that are still functioning as they should..Quote:

Yea there coming out just the little arm does not extend to catch the belt..

Hi, Both of mine are now slipping (2009 car so have been in and out 1000s of times). Do you have the part numbers so I can order them? An tutorials how to change also online?
