Harness Bar

Thus, I went with Schroth ASM quickfit 4-point harness.
It holds me in place on track, and I can unclip and remove the harness afterwards, restoring rear seats to full use.

HMS does not list F8x applications, but my old MINI R56 kit fit perfectly (length, size, buckles):

Love everything about this setup, except it renders rear seats unusable.

Same would go for the GTS - even if it was cheaper than stock F8x (yeah, right), I would not own it, since I need usable rear seats.

I emailed HMS about the setup you show above for my GTS and they replied that: "bottom line is that without shoulder belt pass throughs (i.e changing the seats completely) there is not a Schroth belt that can be safely installed"

I'm sticking with the stock belt until I can swap out the seats.

I actually found the stock seat bolsters in my ZCP M4 adequate enough for keeping me in place when I did 100 laps around a handling track (Thunderhill West). Never had that kind of support in the E92, which made the QFP mandatory.

Did they say why?

To each his own.
