Im looking at getting racing seats and a harness system. I dont want to fully commit to a cage, but I heard you can get Harness bars that rest behind the front seats and leave the a little room for rear passangers.

I have found this website but they offer difference sized bars, does it matter? They all say it would fit my car but what would be best? 47in, 49in, or 51in?

If it isnt a good idea, feel free to comment why they arent a great idea. Thanks guys!

They all say they're universal fit. So it's not really checking if they'll fit.
Also why? a 320 xdrive is not exactly the best platform for a racecar.

Did you start this thread a couple days late maybe?

what kind of racing are you doing? honestly, i'd look at the schroth harness that bolts to the stock mounting location. it's dot approved and perfect for the track.

he didn't say he was turning it into a race car. any daily driver can be taken out to an autocross event or a road course for a little fun.

The reason for the harness bar is for potential track days, along with adding safety. I amc currently pushing 310whp and 365+ft-tq on 93 octane. I am getting a new HPFP and New injectors to run full E85, so I will be pushing much more power.

I also really enjoy the look of the harnesses in cars, makes the feel more aggressive.

I know the 320xi is not a very modded car in the community, but thats why i like it. Nothing like pulling up to a 335i and beating him. (Yes I can gap a stock 335i.) I was going for a unique build.
