Hello!
I have a BMW 535i that i am replacing the comfort seats with re-upholstered sport seats. I am in need of a complete set of working seat belts for these seats.
I am unable to use my current belts because they don't have the proper angle on the catch to attach to the sport seat. Can anyone help?
Thnaks,
Michael

You might want to move this thread to the Parts section instead.

I could be wrong but I do believe that I have the seat belts from a 1987 535is unfortunately the receivers I do not have they are available new the later models Sports seat receivers with the solid red thing those are pretty poor condition all around and I really do recommend buy new they aren't quite the same as the old cool stuff but they're not all worn out. I do know that there early model Sports seat seat belt receivers and they're very good they never wear out I don't know BMW started losing their way after a while

Hello Spen!
Would it be possible to send a photo of the belt parts you do have? I can have a friend of mine who is helping to fit the seats tell me if they would work with a new pair of receivers (the bottom part)
Thanks for your reply and help!

I'll dig up tomorrow after I get some boxing done. I'll check part numbers and confirm how it all looks.

Hello Spen,
I have found a set of new seat belts that will work, geez! The research. That is what my wife says about owning a classic car though! If you have already found those you have, let me know.
Thank you very much,
Michael
