i8 Seatbelt Very Tight
The drivers side seatbelt keeps tightening up a lot as I drive around and I constantly have to adjust it to loosen it up a bit. Is there a fix or is this just how the seatbelt works on the i8?

I have been experiencing the same recently, at first I thought I had gained weight thus causing the discomfort as I find myself adjusting it very often
anyone else? |

Probably a defective tensioner.

Had BMW dealer take a look, said that nothing was wrong with the tensioner and if they replaced it the seatbelt would be tighter. You have to play around with the upper seat adjustment button to get it to loosen up.
