That damn seatbelt flapping when the windows are down!

Bobby Pynes · 09-01-2011, 12:12 PM

Does anyone else have this problem? My back seatbelts flap like crazy at speed when i have all the windows down....

Drives me nuts.

shazzy04 · 09-01-2011, 12:14 PM

mine do too

axis · 09-01-2011, 12:15 PM

Mine does it really bad if the sunroof is closed. If I open it all the way up, most of the problem disappears.

Bobby Pynes · 09-01-2011, 02:04 PM

Kinda takes away from the experience imho.

Nailed it - drives me nuts!! I found partially closing the rear windows will make it go away.

edirtaynine · 09-01-2011, 02:06 PM

hahahahah mine does that too. i thought it was an e92 problem, but i guess it does the same on e90s too

e90-328i · 09-01-2011, 02:10 PM

i noticed mine seems to do it more with the rear seats down

MusclezMarinara · 09-01-2011, 02:15 PM

ZheHbKa · 09-01-2011, 02:19 PM

lol yeah, i didnt notice before and now it annoying like there is no tomorrow! THANKS!!!

jlaforn · 09-01-2011, 03:17 PM

HA HA...Yeah...very annoying!

hipnotic · 09-01-2011, 03:19 PM

tape them down. lol.

teamben158 · 09-01-2011, 03:52 PM

Remove them, weight savings, moar horsepower.

mds54 · 09-01-2011, 04:02 PM

I get that too...with the vert top down.

PTinVT · 09-01-2011, 04:02 PM

I would have gladly paid extra for integrated seat belts on my E92 - no stupid seat belt presenters, no extra seat belt length flapping in the breeze...

Really? I don't have the problem in my E46 vert with integrated seat belts, with the top down.

roflmao i just laughed so hard.

BAMxi · 09-01-2011, 04:25 PM

Yes! So annoying! And buckling them doesn't really seem to help in my e90.

AddictedToBavarian · 09-01-2011, 05:01 PM

I've heard about this a lot, but I never noticed on my E92. Maybe I drive too slow.

Dr. Nate · 09-01-2011, 08:56 PM

Put a cute girl with big tits in the back seat.

DesiRoc · 09-01-2011, 08:57 PM

I didn't notice this but I'm going to try it tomorrow!

joelfromoz · 09-01-2011, 08:59 PM

My car is still in production, but I noticed it with the demo car we had for the weekend. It seemed to be just the center belt, so I was hoping I could just unclip the shoulder belt and stow it. Sounds like it is all of them though?

Sometimes... just my right rear belt strap...depending on the wind.
