$2 super practical mod for your seat belt
I noticed the seat belt clamping is missing on F8x. BMW seems to randomly install them on some models and not on others. For example, officially it's not supposed to be present on my 5 series according to realoem.com, yet it is.
The male belt latch slides all the way down, which makes it inconvenient to reach it and slide it when buckling up. Install this piece, part 72111862636: Win! |

Are you sure about the F8x? I have a week 37 build M3 that came with latches on the driver and passenger seat belts, though admittedly a little different in design than the image you provided. It keeps the male piece elevated for easy access. I'll post pics soon.

Either way, it looks like you solved the issue.

These are a must have IMO. My F30 came with them and now I buy them for all my cars.

They are designed not to be tight so that they can be easily adjusted and also for safety purposes.

These weren't on my M4 for some reason and it really sucks without them. I pulled them off my F30 lol

Sorry for dumb question, but just to confirm, is this a OEM BMW part?

Belt latch stop
Yes, mine has rivet-like flat buttons through the belts 16" from the floor. Looks like it could be relocated higher if desired.
