I have them on my M3 since they come standard with the competition package. They are a nice touch but not sure I would swap out the belts on my X5M unless it was easy to remove them...how easy is it to remove them?

There is a video that shows how to but it wasn't a BMW.

I am having the dealership remove them and have the webbing shipped back to the dealership so they can do it..

… Just yet another reminder the car is an "M" … In any case I wouldn't mess around with a safety component. If not installed at factory, leave it alone.

Not on this car, but a few years ago the seatbelt failed on my Golf R. To change them on that car was a relatively easy process, it did require me to remove allot of the trim including the door sill, pillar trim, and the rear side trim. One bolt at the top and one bolt at the bottom.

For that car the bolts were one time use only, so new bolts are needed and you need to tq them to the right spec. Not sure I'd want to open the X5m for just a cosmetic change unless I had to open it for another reason.
