Consumer Description
This automobile is designed with a seatbelt assembly which has an arm which reaches out to bring your your seatbelt. See pix. It is made with plastic and glue and is amazingly flimsy. I cannot believe that BMW created such a "cute" but flimsy design. It cannot withstand being used hundreds of time when the seatbelt is used. It broke (see pix). Now a rigid arm with a jagged edge comes out at eye level. Someone is going to become seriously injured!!!! BMW claims that this resulted from misuse and not faulty cheap design and wants me to pay for the repair!!!!!!! This entire assembly needs to be recalled and replaced with some thing sturdier.
