Keep in mind the costs of replacing the passenger seat with a racing seat and not tampering with the SRS system...buying a new occupancy sensor ($$) or tearing into your passenger seat to reuse that one.
My m3 came with those harnesses installed by the PO. No aftermarket seats. They plugged into the rear seat belt receptacles to replicate the "harness bar", but that's not feasible on a z.

I don't really have anything bad to say about the harnesses though, they fit well and snugged me into the seats.
