The car uses BMW's new Adaptive Body Calibration (ABC). It uses GPS data to note which restaurant you are at and adjusts the seat belt tension based on the type of food served. Italian establishments result in less tensioning and a salad place results in more tightening. Also, on the last Thursday of November, U.S. cars use maximum slack.

LOL

The feature doesn't bother me but my wife hates it.

With that said, I'd never disable it because it is a good safety feature.
