Retrofit red seat belt?

snowmuch · 04-11-2015, 10:54 AM

Hello I'm new to this forum and BMW, my previous two cars are MB, I'm trading in my AMG and picking up an f10 in alpine white with brown leather interior on Tuesday. Just curious how to retrofit red seat belt to this car?

Thanks for posting. I would like to do the same on my 2014 335 sedan. I have been searching the net for guidance and have found nothing. Any luck on your end?

I just looked on realoem, F10 Seat belts are available in white, oyster, beige, gray and black.

Some of the AMG's come standard with Red Seat-belts, and other manufacturers offer it as a standalone option. Porsche for example will charge you $500 for Red Seat-belts. To each their own

lol. to each his own. The red seat belts do look good with black interior and red stitches.

lsturbointeg · 06-04-2015, 09:42 PM

It would look pretty bad with the oyster interiors or even the mocha

. If your interior was black and your car was black....than Maybe...maybe yes?

LOL...I would've done this to my integra back in the day!

Looks like an AMG with Red stitching that is just about doing it for me.

Honest truth. My opinion... no AMG badge in the centre and that would be a VTEC to all day.

As said "each to their own" ... no red seat belts for me.

Everyone has a different idea of what prestige should involve.

My thoughts exactly. Few years ago. Type R.. even a Golf .. yes.

BMW Mercedes Audi .. unless it's something ridiculously out there... I wouldn't pay for this small extra.

lsturbointeg · 06-05-2015, 05:07 AM

It would have looked like this!

I find that red seat belt with brown interior work exceptionally well, perfect blend with sports and luxury.

I'm pretty sure it's not the brown that's making the interior look good. I don't think a BMW, especially an F10 has that same appeal for a bright red seat belt. Maybe a really dark red.

lsturbointeg · 06-05-2015, 03:22 PM

Even dark red wouldn't work for me. It would stand out like a sore thumb. I am Loving those foot pedals and steering wheel!

Check with IND http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=868850. Almost $1,700 for all belts, though.
