Colored seat belts

I am considering replacing the current seat belts with Yellow seatbelts or possibly red.

Just to bring some color and sportyness to the interior...
Has any if you done it? Thoughts?

This is one of my heartaches with BMW... the M2 is only available with black leather and blue stitching. At the very least they should offered it with other M colors and matching stitching.

As for yellow or red seat belts, I'd say yellow as it goes better with blue.

Yellow or blue will be better. Take some pictures during the install and after.

Ya'll are crazy, this is wonderful. But then again, I love the weird blue interiors of the 80s and pretty much anything unusual from the 60s/70s. So maybe I'm crazy? I'm ok with that.

On the topic it looks like OP has an MG so red still works by your rules since that's not blue .

I would love to have the M3/M4 competition package seat belts on my M2.
Has anyone done it?

If you're into getting colored seat belts, consider getting the fancy ///M tri-color seat belts (see M4 GTS seat belts) (see also here and here):

Call IND they've swapped the belts in a 2 series before. Not the easiest or cheapest thing in the world to do. You can't just source the ones from an M3 or M4.

Now it might br expensive for you guys, but there are alot of f22 full interiors for sale at ebay.de, shouldnt these fit right in?
They start at around 900 euros and looks mint. Just search for 'f22 sitze'.
I think the alcantara interior would look nice in a lbb.

Honestly, I don't know.

Don't order without first getting the full confirmation that these fit inside the M2.

I'm with you BishUK if I had to opt for a colour coded belt these would be the ones

Why wouldn't they fit? I'll speak to my parts man tomorrow and let you know.
