The belts could work, but the M3/4 seats will not.

To safely install, position, and keep the belts over driver's shoulders, you need to rout them through the top of the seat. Seat-belt cut-outs in racing seats work perfectly, in-between head rest posts works well enough.

Alas, F80/82 front seats have integrated head rests with #@$%^#$ lit-up M-emblems, but no cut outs for the shoulder belts. Even Mercedes C63 has shoulder belt cut outs, but not M3/4. Thus the only safe way to have any racing belts installed in M3/4 is to either make cuts in OEM seats, or install racing seats.
