Coupe - be careful with the seatbelt handover............
The seatbelt handover (drivers side) wasn't working on my new M3 when we bought it- but the garage said they'd sort it(free).............. which they have this morning
But.........The new part is £186 + VAT + Fitting if you're not mechanically minded! You've been warned! Max

Never mind the seatbelt - what about the exhaust!
I haven't got the handover now I've got the e93, although I keep waiting for it

as said previously it was £950 fitte dthe day after OR £400 and a small wait. so £550 bought my patience! no, its an 08 Manual M3 went in to the garage this morning to have it done(handover) - and theres my 335d sat in the showroom........... if i didn't have all my dough invested in lots of tasty and expensive guitars - i wouldn't have part ex'd it

ive not read too much about this failing left right and centre which puts my mind at ease somewhat. you wouldnt have thought a gimmicky bit of plastic would cost so much to sort out though

I've just scooped one up off ebay for £10
The only problem with mine, a small piece of metal that retains one end of one of the springs sheared off .... sometimes it would catch the seat belt and other it would slip past .... annoying, but for a tenner i'm happy to get it fixed |

But i'd hardly call it a "scoop" - buying a broken one - that doesn't actually make it do what its supposed to................. Its like saying Michelin Pilot Sports are £300 each - but i've just scooped one on ebay with 1.6mm of tread left for £10.............. Max

But anyway, if they are SO expensive new and a common fault - surely it would go for more than a tenner???

Broke mine a few months ago also, my fault though. It came forwards and i think i bumped it with my arm turning round to grab belt or something, but hasn't worked right since, goes in and out no bother, but chrome part on end doesn't retract properly on way back in. Removed arm to find small plastic pin halfway down snapped off inside rear panel, £216 all in from local STEALERS , No way I'm paying that for a 12" plastic arm, I'll keep hunting ebay and breakers or try making the small part @ work.

Mine has broken too (drivers) - im gutted!
Really dont want to spend £220! little bit of metal seems to have broken off. The arm extends and retracts fine but doesent lock open to grab the belt so the belt just slips off it! cant find any on ebay either!
