This used OEM BMW seat belt retractor (left rear), part number 6981481, was removed from a donor vehicle. It fits the 128i and 135i with either the 3.0L turbocharged N55 or naturally aspirated N52 inline-six. The retractor manages belt tension and locks during sudden stops; a common failure is sluggish retraction or failure to lock. As a safety-critical component, installation should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper function.
