I bought it for track days in an E39 M5. I never could get it to lock in place. It would alway slip out. I don't recall why but it just didn't fit quite right to the belt.

Really? I think I will wait for some more people to chime in to see if this is a known problem. I don't want to spend 50 on something that doesn't work...

EDIT: Sorry link didn't work. It's called the CG-Lock and it tightens the part of the seat belt that goes over your lap. It is supposed to keep you snugly in place.
Does anyone know if it works?

I think it's pointless.

I won mine in a competition.
The side bolsters on my car would be ok if I was about 6 inches wider, you can fit two of me in the drivers seat
It only locks the bottom part of the seat belt so your top half is free to move around, so a tight fit in the seat to start with is best.
I will fit it tonight to remind myself of its merits.

Thanks!

I pulled my belt tight with my arm and I really glues you to your seat. It's just hard to justify the $50...

Hi e60s

Graham from CG-Lock here. Not wanting to promote the product, but to clarify an important point. We offer a full money back guarantee (and have never had one returned in 4 years!). So nothing to loose really!
Thanks
Graham

I bought one a couple years ago and posted it on this forum but I somehow lost it and never got to try it. Gotta dig for it in my garage.

Hmm...any money back for lost product Graham? haha
