Broken seat belt tensioner

Tmac · 01-04-2019, 07:32 PM

I have a broken seatbelt tensioner on my '14 M5. In an attempt to avoid paying $350 for a new one, does anyone know if there is a difference between the '11-'13 and '14-'17 tensioners? They have different numbers on the back, but appear similar. Can any F10 belt buckle do or would it have to be for an M5? I can't see BMW making special ones just for the M, but I'm not that bright.
Thanks.

Does anyone know a decent place to buy one as dealership said $350 as that seems a bit high to me.

try looking it up in realoem dot com and click on the part number. It will show you which other cars use the same tentioner.

good luck

Found it on there, thanks! Any chance you know what REMA means in regards to safety belts? It gives 2 options, seems to be a possible bolt difference? Either way, thanks for the direction.

Don't know whar REMA stands for. I just looked up for the f06 M6 and is shows that the REMA option is the only one that fits for the F06 M6. (F10 M5 also just "REMA"

Old thread, I know, but it was one of two from my Google search.
REMA = reverse electromotive belt retractor
The belts that self-tighten when you start driving are REMA belts. They can also pretension in case an accident is detected, etc.

Standard belts are not REMA.
