Who would want to drill holes in the floor boards or weld in a roll cage in your brand new car anayway!?!? Esp a street car.

The only advantage I see by using the BMW seatlbelts is their pyrotechnic seat belt pretensioner in the event of a crash.

The main thing about any harness is the angle of the rear belt anchors. I am sure Schroth has fully tested that. I see nothing wrong with the OP's setup. I reather like his choice of mods for his 1M. I can't wait to see/read his review of his newest //M.
