Seatbelts pre tightening on startup/pull away
In one of the M5s I tested before buying mine I noticed the seatbelts tightening up before we pulled out of the dealership.
Haven't noticed this in the car I bought. Is this a standard feature or part of a package? If a standard feature is it known to fail? Car I tested was an early 2019 and the car I bought a late 2019. |

My 2022 does the tightening. Although, most of the time I hardly notice. I wonder if it only does it when it senses slack in the belt?

The ‘18 M550 I tested did this too. I was pleased because I liked that feature in my CTS-V. In the V, if you break traction and get a little sideways the belts go SNAP and tighten down on you even more. I did it to my wife one night after dinner and she was like “you’re gonna make me puke!” Lol

Sometimes it won't tighten if it doesn't need to and senses you're safely buckled. |

Pretty sure all US models have it. Not sure about elsewhere. I have it and like it on my base 2020. Wife hates it cuz she seems to always be leaning forward when it happens.

Hmmm, now you guys mentioned it. I haven't noticed my seat belt pulling when I drive off. I have a MY'21. I do noticed it on the other loaner vehicles I drive. My other car is an F10 550 which I know doesn't have this seat belt feature so I would be very cognizant of it.

My 2019 does it. I like it, makes me feel like I'm strapping into an X-Wing
