If you want to talk to me and ask direct questions, you can always PM me.

Sorry was on my cell and didn't open the links. Surprised a set from a mini works. Size wise was thinking the tail straps would be way too short.

Perhaps because it was developed also for the Clubman, which has a longer wheelbase? Who knows...

Anyway, let's see if it works on the Coupes as well, and different sizes of drivers.

Nice just saw yours was an e90 application. I'm gonna have to try to get mine in before my next track day. Already have my new set of ad08s waiting to go on.

thorny · 08-26-2012, 01:06 PM

If it fits E92, I am ordering this before my next track day on Sept 30th.

KM3 · 08-26-2012, 02:55 PM

I'll report back on E92 fitment once they arrive.

1MOREMOD · 08-26-2012, 03:37 PM

When is your next day km3? I'm going to pacific on sept 19th I think. Car needs some work beforehand though.

KM3 · 08-27-2012, 12:41 AM

I'll be at PR on 9/7 with Turn 2 and PR again on 9/14 instructing with BMW. After that, TBD. Hopefully another couple days at the Ridge in late September.

I wonder if the Schroth people are starting to wonder what's going on.

Me on the phone today.
"I'd like to order a set of Quick-fit pro harnesses for a Mini."
Schroth: "What year car do you have?"
Me: "Uhm, a 2009." (that's the year of my M3)
Schroth: "Do you have the standard Mini or the S?"
Me: Uhm, ah, it's the S, is there a difference?"
Schroth: "no, but we like to keep records in case you need a part in the future."
Me: "okay"

Plan to install my set over the Labor Day weekend.

BigJae - we have to face the fact that we might become obsolete as "harness leaders" on the board. It was a good run.

Ok it sounds true. I wanted to check first so I don't get my hopes crushed for the 261st time...which equals the number of posts in this thread.

Now all of the mini owners will be screwed because we'll buy them all up!

1MOREMOD · 08-28-2012, 07:32 PM

Yeah some people would be severly pissed if they ordered it and this was all a joke, including me.

Had to get one last one in...LiM3Y yold me to do it.

On a serious note...I really hope this works out!

leo95se · 08-28-2012, 07:39 PM

Wow!! Ordered the mini harness yesterday, received and installed today. Thanks HMS!
Install was easy. For the front seat, I don't have the forward torx bolt, so used the bolt under the seat side bolster, rear in the pics above.
That was a 13mm.
Rear is a T50.
They fit perfectly, just like stock, with plenty of adjustment.

My only concern is that the damn m3 seats don't sit very low, and the lower straps seems to sit a bit higher than desired. I'm sure I can adjust though.
