All you inferior Rallye 4 and Rallye 3 users will be dazzled by my mini harnesses. Oh wait, that didn't come out right...

Your wish is my command...
1. Simulation of fat guy in the seat 2. Front clearance 3. Rear clearance Seatbelt receptacles are a perfect fit. Based on this informal test, I am satisfied it will fit - now it may not have a lot of adjustment left, but it seems to fit my frame ok. Installation sometime over the weekend - will post pics of course.

Wow, this is the best news we've heard about this in a while. Thanks for doing this. Cannot wait so the install pics.

Total success. First drive just blew me away, I can't wait to go on track...
Installation time was about 20 min or so, it's all extremely easy. I used another poster's instructions for the outer bolts (thanks bigjae1976!) and encountered absolutely no problem at all. 1. No need for seat removal, bolt comes right out 2, 3. Bending the tab to avoid contact with the seat bolster. 4. Rear bracket install. A note here: the Schroth-supplied bolt was too big (diameter) so I reused the OEM bolt. Schroth supplied a spacer which might be needed to clear the MINI seats, but was totally unnecessary in the E90. 5. Minimal peeking from the back seat. 6. Straps connected to the back. 7. Fits perfectly and there's plenty of adjustment left in the straps. Needless to say, Schroth puts a label on the harness warning you that you might die if you install this in something other than a MINI R55, 56 or 57 so if you decide to follow my example, it's all on you. Over on my side, I'm deliriously happy with the result. I'll post more pics and impressions on how it holds up after my track event Mon/Tue at VIR.

I used HMS: http://www.hmsmotorsport.com/store/s...quick-fit-mini
They seem to have a Pro version too: http://www.hmsmotorsport.com/store/s...k-fit-pro-mini I didn't go with the Pro because I don't think I'll be running a Hans device in my street car, and if I go with a track car it will probably be something very different than an E90 M3...

If you're asking about the MINI, it's for the R55, 56 or 57 which is the 07+ Coopers if not mistaken.

This is fantastic! Do you think this will fit on the E92? Will the waist bracket install to the floor?

Either way, a vendor like HMS will allow returns for uninstalled merchandise (by that I mean just draped over the seats to check initial fit, clearances etc. If it looks like I am advertising for this vendor, this is not my intention. They were nice to me with great service, but you can probably source this harness in any other number of places.

He was asking, what part number did I order, or what chassis/year of MINI to order. Are you asking the same thing? All the info is in my earlier posts...
If you want to talk to me and ask direct questions, you can always PM me.

You're right, it looks like that install point is very similar. I think I will give this a try...

It's on order, so I'll be giving it a go next week. I'll be sure to check that fitment before starting.
