Original BMW Seat Belt Clamp for BMW 2002, 2 Series Through 8 Series, X1, X3, X4, and X5 (1967–2024)

The Original BMW seat belt clamp, part number 72-11-8-469-012, is a small clamping piece for the seat belt system that fits a very wide spread of BMW cars, from the 2002 and Bavaria through the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 Series and the X1, X3, X4, and X5. BMW's own parts data calls it simply Clamping, and the piece is sold individually, priced each. Production of the current number began in November 2018. BMW carries it forward from the earlier part number 72-11-1-862-636 and marks that change as exchangeable retrospectively, so the newer clamp is the correct replacement for cars that left the factory with the older one. The fitment runs from 1967 to 2024.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

A clamp like this holds a seat belt component in its fixed position so the belt hardware stays where the factory placed it. This one number replaces 72-11-1-862-636. BMW applies the same clamp to classic chassis such as the 2002, E21, E30, E12, E28, E24, and E23, and to later families including the E90, F30, F22, F32, F87, F82, G20, G30, and G11. That breadth means the piece itself is unchanged between a 1970s coupe and a current sedan.
