E92 Seat Belt Butler "Batting Average"

mkco · 06-11-2007, 04:44 PM

Mine successfully grabs the seat beat no more than half the time. Is that what you're experiencing? Or do you think mine needs adjustment? There's nothing overtly about it that seems broken (other than the hit-or-miss performance).

jfulcher · 06-11-2007, 04:45 PM

Mine gets it every time. So far at least.

ward · 06-11-2007, 04:53 PM

the only time I was ever in an E92 the passenger side one shot out like a projectile

the driver side one worked good though, so I guess that's batting .500

Zeroday · 06-11-2007, 04:53 PM

It's retarded. I'm gonna disable mine when I get around to it.

Revlis · 06-11-2007, 04:57 PM

They Rock, has only missed twice since I've had it. But they are very helpful and cause no problems or concerns.

Besides they are entertaining, passengers enjoy em'.

DrewKo · 06-11-2007, 04:59 PM

Mine have never missed on either passenger or driver's side and I dig them.

e92sam · 06-11-2007, 05:11 PM

batting 1,000

batlin · 06-11-2007, 06:22 PM

I actually had the same concern!!!
Mine use to be 100% when i first got the car, but in the past 2 weeks it has been about 1/4 of the time actually working!
I was also curious if anyone else noticed this and is there a way to fix it!!

marcvtec · 06-11-2007, 06:29 PM

I like em batting 90% missed only a few times since Sept -06

Zirenz2006 · 06-11-2007, 06:30 PM

Mine hasn't missed once.

ska///235i · 06-11-2007, 06:38 PM

Wow.....even seatbelt gets a Spec number

This is awesome

Ryan 330i · 06-11-2007, 07:18 PM

mine has only missed it twice in 6 months. and at my fault too, when i put the belt back it was twisted. but every other time it grabbed it perfectly.

Nyulak · 06-11-2007, 07:42 PM

ABout 80%.

TheAcAvenger · 06-11-2007, 07:55 PM

.750 i'd say. It used to be every 19 of 20, now i get around every 3 of 4

BuckJon · 06-11-2007, 08:12 PM

Mine has missed its' share. It has been better lately though, the only problem is that sometimes like lets say in the drive thru, I take my seatbelt off to get to my wallet, and then to put my seatbelt back on is kind of a bitch. Either do a big reach around, heheh, or open and close the door. Otherwise glad I have it though cause the belt is a bit far back. Sometimes I also take off while reaching for my seatbelt but if you take off too fast the belt will go back to its spot before you have time to grab it.

theYardie · 06-11-2007, 08:21 PM

this is a useless feature that will get old once it invetably gets stuck in the outward position forever.

rrandyy · 06-11-2007, 08:30 PM

1000, has never missed in the 7 months I've had it

TheDuke83 · 06-11-2007, 09:01 PM

1000

wdlfbio · 06-11-2007, 09:03 PM

We did a driving clinic and the instructors didn't understand to wait a second for jeebers to hand them the seatbelt. With them regularly getting in and out of the car and grabbing back at the seatbelt, they ended up putting it outta whack so that it never grabbed the belt. Jeebers was definetely out of sinc timing wise. The wife played with it several times and no go. Then, all of a sudden, it started working fine. No problems with either side since (never had a problem with the driver's side).

Pedal2Floor · 06-11-2007, 09:23 PM

Anyone see how the e93 holds its belt? Why can they do the same for the e92?

Typicaly over engineering -- sometime simple is better.

Spool · 06-11-2007, 09:29 PM

At least yours work...

sometimes mine just sits there...won't move..other time it grabs it..

other time it scratches the trim....

mesier1111 · 06-11-2007, 10:11 PM

Mine catches every time but just rescently the arm has begun to pop off. There are two parts, the part with the silver nob shoots off the rest of the arm as it is being retracted in. Happens 1 ou of three times now, and then suddenly is fine and then starts again. Got an appt. next week.
