M seat belt pads...

I've had some since I first had a Z4 back in 2007. As said above, t-shirts don't work well with these seat belts if you're a short arse...


But simply pulling the t-shirt up a little solves it I've found.

Rather that than the belt pads (looks all boy racer IMO)

The seat belt was doing my nut in by cutting into my neck... I think these might be over the top but they are very comfortable :-). I hope they don't look to chav :-(...
Is it me or is it upside down ? Shouldn't the M logo be the other way around so when its plugged into the seatbelt it's the right way round when you look at it from the front ?

The t-shirt doesn't stay up a little for very long in my experience. Current ones are plain black. The best and least 'boy racer' ones I have seen are the roadster solutions ones from the U.S. ... But they are pricey once you add shipping and import taxes. I wouldn't get the cf style like above I don't think, or anything brightly coloured, that's definitely boy racer...

And PVR, they're not wool, they're leather, or faux leather :roll:

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, they would be upside down when the belt is latched, but would be the correct orientation when viewed for the users perspective.

My car came some nice soft ones with the M logo when I bought the car. The previous owner was short and said the belt irritated his neck. I tried them for a few rides, then removed them. I didn't care for them much, but I'm 6'1". I keep them them in the clove box for long trips.
 
DIY, "I got some screws, nuts and rubber doorstops from Home Depot. The resulting construct allows me to keep the seatbelt from riding up the BMW guides."

Digs into my neck as well, haven't had a problem with any other beemas.
My E46, E90 & my dad's 6 series are all fine.
I don't wear tshirts much, formal shirt collars seems to help.
 
Hey now I'll have you know that us belt pad wearers are not short if anything it's the other way round. And yes your right they are the wrong way round lol, but I bought them not for the look or to make the car faster or to exaggerate the fact it's an M. I bought them because my neck was being cut in two, and I couldn't find sheep skin ones either....

All joking aside if anyone has got a better ideas put their hands up....

On another note I've used gliptone dye on the seats and they look like new.
