VR Performance BMW E46 Bolt-In Harness Bar Installation

Install overview of the VR Performance Bolt-In Harness Bar for the BMW E46 M3.

Step 1: Behind both the driver and passenger seat, locate the seat belt slide/mount. Remove the plastic cap to expose the Torx bolt. Using a T50 Torx bit remove the bolt and metal retaining clip. Do this for both sides of the vehicle. Use images for reference.

Step 2:  For the next part you can do this in a number of different ways. If you have a friend to assist you can insert the harness bar into the vehicle partially assembled (As shown in the photos). If you do not have someone to assist you, start with each bottom leg and assemble a section at a time.

Once the harness bar has been inserted into the vehicle line up the harness bar legs to the seat belt slide/mount and attach using the provided longer extended hardware. Do this for both sides. Do not tighten the hardware just yet! Keep everything loose/snug until the harness bar has been fully assembled in the vehicle

Step 3:  Locate the seat anchors at the center of the back seat. Using the supplied 2-piece harness bar clip mount, insert the hook over the seat anchor and place the other piece over to sandwich the two together. While holding these locked together, slide the harness bar over and insert hardware. Use images for reference.

Step 4:  You can now attach the upper portion of the harness bar. To make this step easier you can remove the bolts on the side of the harness bar to give you more movement adjustment for attaching the bars together. Once everything is fitted in place properly, tighten the hardware and enjoy your new VR Performance Bolt-in Harness Bar!
