I've considered deactivating mine, but every time someone particularly stubborn gets into my car and doesn't want to wear a seatbelt, the sound gets the job done, so I decided to leave it.

I always wear my seat belt, with or without chime sound. But i always get scared if passengers don't wear it. So the chime does the job for me without me being an ass over seat belt rule.
The chime is only annoying because you don't put the seatbelt, which is the first thing that should be done before driving off.
But for people who just get the spare buckle to shut the chime off, deactivation is the best alternative, either way they are not wearing the seat belt.

Safety first people. The sound is annoying for good reason. So you do the right thing and not activate it. It is 2nd nature for me to put it on though I must admit when i was younger I was appalled by the thought.

the seatbelt warning is the most annoying thing in the e60...wtf were they thinking? 1 minute of awful sound for your ears..i know its the law - but wearing seatbelts pisses me off - it always gets so tight around my stomach and I always have to stretch it out - but it still becomes tight. and no I'm not fat
You're joking..... right?

That's really really cool. Do you happen to know how to disable the airbags too? I hate those things, so fu$#ing annoying. Don't get me started on that crumple zone too, I want to rip that sucker out.
