Seatbelt rubbing into neck.......
Hi guys
I've heard a quite bit about the seatbelts in the Z4 rubbing into your neck whilst driving. I'm 6'2", so my seats are as low as they'll get, and I had the same common issue.
However, there seems to be all kinds of odd solutions suggested, such as additional sections of belts, or clips used to hold the belt away from your neck?
I simply got these.......Soft wool finish and amazingly comfortable

Easy Put your belt on, slide the pad to the perfect position for comfort, and enjoy your driving

I have an E85 and mine came with similar covers, I’m only a shorty at 5’6” but they work for me Or a top with the collar turned up also works.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

I tend to wear shirts with collars. That solves the problem. I've never had a passenger complain about the same issue.

I too usually wear polo tops, but it's nice not to have think what I'm wearing, just to go for a spin

Yer. Really soft, and comfortable on your neck. There are loads of leather, or carbon, 'look' ones on the market, but I can't imagine they are comfortable, and they'd also feel cold on your neck. These woven ones are a gem , and look great!Sladester100 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 1:12 am These look great.. saw some previously that were a leather like material, but these look comfy and just over a tenner… ordered

I had the same problem, tried a few things and ended up with these. The photo is upside down but they slide along the bottom belt to suit your build. They work very well.

They’ll always find something, too windy, not enough wind, too cold, too hot, uncomfortable, too many bends.

You missed out too fast, too slow, too close but I do like the too many bends. That is a definite!
