2015 M235i Convertible Owners

Wealth of knowledge here!

I took possesion of my Alpine white, Black top, Black interior convertible last week. I love it.
1. Seat belt eylets - They are Red! Only red thing on the car, any suggestions on how to get them black?
2. I am a big guy, so seats are all the way back... made the mistake of letting go of my seat belt at my waist, it slammed back with such force, it dinged my 2 day old tinting (noticeable hole). Any way to fix this besides re-tinting my window and any way to 'slow the roll' of the seatbelt mechanism?

Thanks in advance for the help (as always)!

I've had things happen to my car since the first week - it's a daily driver and if you fix every little chip and scratch and examine every inch of the paint after a drive it takes the joy out of ownership. I'm not insinuating that's what's happening in your case but I don't think you should make any repairs or modifications.

If you ordered the black interior then your dealer can replace the red belt eyes for free. I would hate to have red.

I know what frustration is having dents and scratches removed. I'm having my second little dent removed costs $90 each time. I don't clean the car too often but hate dents.

You'll have to post some photos.

What/where are your seat belt eyelets? I have Alpine White over Terra and have no red parts on the seat belt attachments anywhere.

They are the round things that the belt goes through coming up from the bottom. 7 inches behind the seat at its farthest back. Sorry, don't have a pic right now... maybe tomorrow.
