Yeah, I can understand that it may sound counterintuitive. But that's based on an assumption that the harness does indeed improve safety. Schroth certainly believes that it does. But, how does a person actually verify that claim?

At least you know the stock 3 pt system w/ airbags had to go through a certain minimum level of testing to be approved and you can look at the results of the mandated gov't & independent insurance crash tests, consumer reports ratings, etc. to understand how the complete system compares to others.

There's just no reliable way that our safety guys, or tech facilities, can be experts in every restraint offered on the market, so we've taken what is meant to be a conservative approach.

Like I said, I'm no expert and can be overruled by Paul or Steve. I'm just attempting to explain why something that sounds counterintuitive, may not be.

BTW - the 335i is a sweet car. Can't wait to see how it handles the rigor of the track!

Take care,

True. I guess that is a big assumption. The crash test simulation results Schroth shows on their website look promising, but how does one really know? I guess it's a no go with the Schroth for PCA.
