Front seat belts are annoying on M6
Anyone else get annoyed with how far back the front seat belts sit? In my s coupe,when you close the door, they move forward so they are easier to reach. Never thought about it until I bought my Benz. Now it constantly annoys me. You would think with a high end car like this they would identify this issue in the initial customer testing at BMW. In the scheme of things not a huge deal but an area they should fix moving forward. I guess if this is all I complain about we are in a good place. Lol

Agreed! Moving from my M3 to the M6 I was surprised they didn't have the seat belt robot arm thing...

Maybe because on 3 series the seat belt is installed on pillar but in 6 series on seat! (correct me if I'm wrong about GC but on coupe it's installed on front seat)

Hmm. I had zero issues with the robot arm in my M3. Always worked, never had to hook the belt on it or anything. Just worked.

I think this is one thing that I did get used to. Now go get in a 1 series to see what a serious reach is all about

It's funny this thread popped up. I am a pretty big dude with crazy wide shoulders. I thought the whole time that my size was the reason I had a hard time reaching the belt. Come to find out (reading this thread) that doesn't seem to be the case lol.

Don't really notice it being a problem in the GC though?
