I'm missing m seat belts in my new X3mc

[Wills2]

It's weird, I have them I think all UK cars do, but not in the US? TBH it wouldn't bother me.

Have them in mine

Was it in your build sheet? You have to order them specifically. I can't recall the code #, but it is posted in this forum.

Same with the carbon fiber strut brace.

I think we do very well with the spec of our cars and the pricing in the UK.

What was the exact date of production (can be found on the Window decal, at the very bottom right, just to the left of the 'Sold To:' data you see the vertical date listing the production)? I ask, because on my Sep 2019 build it isn't shown, and on my wife's end of November build, it states the M seat belts 'are included'. Maybe your production was just before they transitioned over, as X3MC models should have them as standard IIRC?

That is strange I thought all Comp models in UK had them. I have seen 4 different ones in total and all had them ........

I wouldn't sweat it though I've hardly noticed them.

That vertical date on the window sticker shows the date the window sticker was printed and applied to the vehicle.
This is actually done at the vehicle delivery center (VDC) and not at the assembly plant. The VDC also installs the latest coding and programming, owners manuals and other loose items.

It's all about the production date. I just bought an X3MC that didn't have them and I noticed it before purchase and we discovered it was a July 19' production and they started Including them in October I believe. I was a little bummed but the other available options didn't have the color combos I was looking at and in all honestly, it's a seatbelt and I stopped caring 5 minutes later.

In Canada you have to add it to your build. It's a $0 option tho.

It's a seat belt you click and you're on the way. Other people notice it in the car for the first time and say nice stripe. I complete forgot I had them. Easily forgettable.

Nov 9 build date and don’t have them or the CF brace.

Yet to pick mine up but it states M seat belts on a VIN lookup. July production it seems.
Not sure if the VIN lookup can be trusted tho.

Thanks for clarifying, Bob. Probably a reasonable rough estimate as to build date, though, if one has their window sticker and isn't sure of their vehicle's production date. Here was the approx timeline for our first X3MC's build (info from BMW website and confirmed with phone calls to Genius line at the time):

21 Aug 2019 - Entered Production Queue
31 Aug 2019 - Entered Assembly line
1 Sep 2019 - Quality Check
3 Sep 2019 - Vertical date on the Window sticker (bottom right corner)
5 Sep 2019 - Dispatched from factory (Hurricane Dorian off the coast of SC for ~24 hrs 4-5 Sep which caused slight delay)
8 Sep 2019 - At the Dealership

For reference, my wife's X3MC has a 23 Nov 2019 sticker date, and it does have the M seat belts (but no carbon fiber engine brace).

And standard equipment availability isn't always the same for US vs Intl models - example being the lack of M Sport steering wheels on G01 X3 M40i US models for roughly a year when overseas had them from the start.

My production was 8/26. I looked at vin decoder and it is not listed. Not sure at the time if one was able to order or it was offered yet.

No - they weren't available at that time (my Sep build doesn't have them either). Based on Alpine White's info, looks like they were probably added roughly mid November for US models.
