How to Replace the Seat Belt in a BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the seat belt in a BMW 3 Series, remove the plastic covers from the door pillars, both at the top and bottom. Under the cover at the top, there will be a screw that secures the upper seat belt anchor, which can be loosened. Next, by removing the lower covers, you can unscrew the bolts that secure the retractor, allowing the seat belt to be completely freed and replaced with a new replacement part. After the replacement, reassemble all parts.
