Shoulder belt uncomfortable

So I've had my 2015 M235 for a month now and I've tried a lot of different seat positions but I still can't keep the shoulder belt from rubbing my neck. I'm 5'11 and fairly normally proportioned but the belt is too tight across my collarbone and is annoying. Of course the belt is not adjustable on the B pillar and the manual says if I have an issue I just need to adjust the seat correctly. The return spring on my driver's side belt seems stronger than the passenger's side. Anyone else have this issue?

6'2" and no issues here. I like snug as I know this means improved capability over less-than-snug. But, I don't feel it "rub" at all..it stays fairly firmly in place over my clavicle.

I could see if I were taller it wouldn't hit in the same place and be ok, but I'm not

What about picking up a seatbelt shoulder pad? Probably available on Amazon.

EDIT: whole bunch available....

I am 5 ft 10 and have the same issue. It is more pronounced in summer when wearing t shirts without a collar. Basically I solved the issue by only wearing shirts with a collar when I have a longer drive ahead of me. The fact that you cannot adjust the belt like you could in a 3series is another annoying cost saving like the missing belt clip. The latter I got donated from the dealership upon request.
