FOR THE DESIGNATED BMW MODEL
AS SEWN INTO THE LABEL ON THE
HARNESSBELT TAILSTRAP. USE IN

Never drill or tap or make a new attachment point in
the body or chassis in order to mount a SCHROTH
Quick Fit harness at that location. Such attachment
points are inadequate, may be improperly located
and can seriously impair the function and
effectiveness of the system.
Please compare the mounting locations on your car with the
illustrations on pages 7 and verify the “Model Tag” as pictured
above (sewn into the tail strap) matches the model of your
vehicle.
Original equipment belts with swivel attachments must never
be bent, modified, impeded or restricted in their range of
motion.
2 Anchorage bolts & SCHROTH Rallye Bolt on bracket
Where additional SCHROTH connecting tails are to be
installed (referenced by the Green Boxes on the diagrams on
page 7), the SCHROTH connector will be bolted to the a
factory mounting point along with the factory belt using the
factory provided bolts. You should be able to tighten each bolt
a minimum of nine (9) full 360 degree turns. Tighten all
anchorage bolts to a torque of 30 ft.lbs. (40 Nm)
3 Installation of the lap belt connectors
3.1 Outside lap belt mounting points – E36/E46 Coupes
The front outboard lap belt mounting points are located at the
front of the metal rail that holds the bottom of the factory
seatbelt.
Pop off the black plastic cap to expose the retaining
bolt.
Using a T50 Torx head socket, back out the bolt.
Place the SCHROTH connector just under the bolt
head and reinstall the bolt.
Before tightening the bolt, align the SCHROTH
connector so that the webbing is pulling in the same
direction that the belt will pass over your lap when
connected. Torque the bolt to 30 ft.lbs.
If desired, trim the plastic cover around the
SCHROTH bracket and clip it back over the bolt. A
razor blade or wire cutters work well for this task.
3.2 Outside lap belt mounting points – E39 Sedan
Adjust the electric seat to the
forward and raised position
giving access to the seat belt
mounting bolt.
Locate the mounting bolt on
the outer most rear section of
the base of each front seat.
The retaining bolt (indicated
in blue) faces inward.
Remove this bolt using a T50
Torx head socket.
Feed the SCHROTH lap belt
connector down from the top
between the side of the seat
and the factory belt. (base of
the factory belt is indicated in
red)
Replace the bolt placing the
SCHROTH bolt-in connector
(pictured in green) immediately behind the bolt head
and the stock bracket (red) behind the SCHROTH
bracket. Torque the bolt to 30 ft.lbs.
3.3 Outside lap belt mounting points – E46 Sedan
Locate the front outboard lap belt anchor bolt on the
rear outside corners of each seat as pictured above.

Using a razor blade or wire cutters, trim off the small
piece of plastic outlined by the white marks (with the
red “X”).
Remount the anchor bolt with the SCHROTH bracket
resting immediately under the bolt head and the
factory bracket in its original position. Position the
SCHROTH bracket so that the webbing is following
the desired path once the lap belt is connected.
Torque the bolt to 30 ft.lbs.
