Seat-integrated seat belt system
(SGS) (Convertible models)
The front seats of E46 Convertible
models are designed with integrated
seat belts. In this way, the forces acting
on a front seat occupant during a
collision are channeled to the reinforced
floor.
All belt fastening points move with the
seat as it is adjusted. This ensures the
best possible body strapping regardless
of seat position or occupant size. With
the shorter free belt length, the occupant
is held more reliably with vehicle
deceleration.
The fixed anchor point and the seat belt
lock/tensioner are mounted on the seat
frame. The upper seat belt guide is
attached to the headrest. In this way the
belt is optimally positioned regardless of
headrest position.
The inertia reel is attached to the inside
of the seat backrest. The mechanism is
