bingstarr · 10-11-2005, 05:59 PM

im taking my car in to get that annoying sound fixed. has anyone had there's fixed yet? did it solve the problem?

David328M-Sport · 10-11-2005, 06:11 PM

no clicking for my car, so I trust all will go well for your fix. let us know what the cause is/was. Thanks.

fabolous · 10-11-2005, 06:17 PM

i had this problem and it was fixed last month. search for the TSB on the Maintenance page or ask your service advisor.

MonacoBlueNJ · 10-11-2005, 08:15 PM

Is it clicking of the passenger seatbelt? If so, I think I have it, too.

shuzmaker · 10-11-2005, 09:24 PM

Waiting for the part to come in.
It's on national back order.
Evidently it's a major issue.

And yes it is Freakin' annoying. :mad:

a burrito · 10-12-2005, 02:36 AM

Ditto to that. the seat belt clicking is completely ANNOYING

Ponchoyu · 10-13-2005, 10:50 PM

shuzmaker, can you take a look at your warranty statement that you got from the dealer and let us know what part number was ordered. My dealer insisted that it wasn't my seatbelt, but I know where its coming from! Thanks!

cosmosblau · 10-13-2005, 10:56 PM

I have it, too.
I hate it.

I got the clicking sound fixed today. The service guy said that there was a memo out on the cause of the problem. Apparently it is some locking mechanism in the pillar. You dealer should know how to fix the problem.

btw the clicking sound is a problem for both the driver and the passenger side.

Broken1 · 10-14-2005, 01:47 AM

My clicking sound is most definately my seatbelt. This I know because if I pull the seatbelt to "lock" position, the sound goes away. Mine isn't really bad, it's very sporadic and I'll get it fixed when I get my car services (in about 10 000km's)

davinet78 · 10-14-2005, 01:53 PM

i also seem to have it too
does anyone know whats wrong with it

Black325i · 01-07-2006, 04:23 PM

After 6 months, mine just started to make that nasty click sound. I did not know what everyone was so upset about...but now I get it.

At lease I can take a TSB with me to get this resolved.

blazersk · 01-07-2006, 07:28 PM

Is this just for cars produced up to August 2005?

Per TSB:
MODEL
E90 (3 Series) produced up to August 2005

Apparently so.

Jurisprudent · 07-20-2011, 08:01 PM

Yes, I've resurrected a very old thread. But this thread is exactly what I need and the TSB seems to be long gone. Does anyone know if this would be covered by the CPO warranty? Assuming not, any clue how much it would cost? I'd like to have the TSB so I can perhaps have someone other than dealer fix it.
