My Ride: 2008 BMW 528i, Monaco Blue Metallic, Beige Leather, Premium Package

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. My '08 528i driver's side seat belt sometimes takes 3 or 4 insertions into the buckle before I hear the audible "click" and the buckle engages the latch plate. It is very annoying.

Run it by the dealer and have them check it out, a seat belt latch is definitely something that needs to work properly

I experienced this on my wife's Volvo and the culprit was a nickel that had gotten down into the buckle mechanism (no doubt from the kids). Might peak in there with a flashlight before taking it to the dealer. If no money, I'd take it to the dealer to check out an important item like that.
