I remember only one other post about this from a foreign member but I cannot find it so I believe it must have been deleted. In that case, I seem to recall the original thread starter resorting to flaming when no other MINI2 member would agree this was a problem. Not saying that Clive is going to start doing this, but I think this shows that it's a very minor 'inconvenience'.

Clearly doing that every time is a complete pain, so your only other options are to learn to park whilst wearing a seatbelt, or live with the alarm going off.

I have to say, I can't understand why you would need to take your seatbelt off to park. You should be aware of where everything is by looking around you within the confines of the seatbelt and also using your mirrors.
