QFP has ASM as well, and works with or without a HANS (I have one for the track, but don't wear it on the street). I don't have really have visibility issues: side mirrors are turned all the way out to avoid blind spots, so I've got the rear 180 entirely on my mirrors until someone is right next to me, at which point I see them on the edge of the mirror. My only issue is pushing the "trunk open" button, since my arms aren't long enough for me to reach.
HMS Motorsports told me when I bought everything that they had recently (end of 2019/early 2020) approved the Cobra Nogaro + QFP combo, even though they haven't done it for F8x seats due to low volume, which I find odd since I assume there are far more F8x owners who want QFPs than people installing fixed back seats... I guess it's probably cheaper to test the Nogaros than the BMW seats though.

M2C uses the same Dakota leather as far as I know.
OK I overlooked that the pro had ASM, I didn't spot the marketing blurb or the ASM black "box" in your pics. That is good to know.
Visibility wise I mean at T junctions. In the EU it is not uncommon to have poor visibility at T junctions due to houses, hedges, and fences. You then want to lean forward but can't (as I know from exp). I know that driving in NA this is less of an issue. I setup my mirrors as you do, on track you dont have time to "shoulder check"
)
F8X seats do not work well with 4+ points as there are no pass through holes. The belts sit either side of the headrest pyramid and want to slide off. There are workarounds but none are elegant and all are questionable in a crash.
I dont know what testing HMS does, but vis a vis my previous car HMS said it would work with the QFP and Schroth DE said do not do this under any circumstances
Thanks for being a trail blazer though! I am still on the fence with the Nogaros (bought another car thats taking my time
) but I think they will find a home in the M2 eventually.
