What it covers

A warranty extension means BMW will repair the listed part at no cost on eligible cars within the stated age and mileage. Check eligibility for your VIN with a BMW center before paying for this repair.

On some E92 models the safety belt extender is not extending the belt or is noisy. This CAN be a fault of the extender or the belt is contorted.
