Thumbs down I could be wrong but...

As a certified instructor for BMW, Audi, Porsche and NASA, I'd be scared to see those belts attached as they are in that X5.

The rear angle is simple all wrong. They should be mounted shoulder level on a harness bar or on a cage.

Yeah, that's strange for a BMW motorsport build. All they need is a horizontal bar across that roll bar to attach the straps and it would be fine. Looks like they also mounted the sub straps of the six-point the half-ass way.

But, that thing is badass!

You're an instructor in ATL? I may know you then! (tech of over 6 years at Peake BMW in Louisiana)

Maybe we've crossed paths?

I'm at all the BMWCCA events at Road Atlanta, most at Barber for PCA and Audi, and frequently at Roebling. Heading to VIR for a 4 days school in June and Heart of Dixie Chapter in May at Barber.

What car do you drive?
