You can really fit 3 across if you wanted to. I have 1 diono and 1 evenflo right next to each other. My wife has space to sit next to them.

Completely agree on the Diono. I went Britax to Recaro. Bought the Recaro because it's a Recaro...they making racing seats! Returned it a few days later because although it was big, it provided almost no leg room for my rear facing son. Picked up the Diono and love it.

That's how it looks from the drivers seat

Thanks for the pic. I know better than anyone the need for kick mats but this is too much of an eye sore for me. Maybe I'm just ultra picky but there has to be a better solution.

The easiest option is what my Missus does.....she takes my Son's shoes off! He prefers them off and no issues with foot marks on the seats.

Funny you say that. I actually do that now. It's those damn winter boots that can be a pain in the a**.

I'm retiring the Britax Regent throne for my soon to be 6 year old in the F80. My soon to be 10 year old will give up her Britax Parkway SGL to her and start using a backless booster. In our family road trip car the Cayenne we will keep them in the Parkway and Regent for another year. We had two sets of them, one in each car.

Now I'm looking at a good backless booster for the 10 year old. I want one that has latch anchors. Not many choices it seem, I checked out the Olli Clerk at a local store but the seat cushion look way short for my very tall girl. ( Towers over her class mates ). The other choice seem to be Graco Affix which seems ok. Anyone know of another choice? She used a non latch booster today and got to use the backseat seat warmer for the back on the way to school so I can forget another booster with a back piece .

I checked out a coupe the other day at the dealership. It looks very difficult to fit a car seat in the back. Just wondering has anyone done that? Any photo and experience to share?

I don't want to get a sedan because I have an E63 already so I am looking for a coupe mainly used for myself but occasionally I can take my family around.

Thanks in advance!

I tried it on my M4 convertible before buying and it's a piece of cake.. No problems with top up or down..
You might want to consider the vert..

I have a forward facing car seat (for a 3 year old) and a booster seat in the back of my coupe. No pictures but lots of room and no problem at all.

Yes, I was thinking about the convertible but that weight concerns me.
I remembered at the day I had E93, an E92 just kicked my ass easily on the freeway even though I had free flow cat and ECU tune. Really love the convertible though but hate to be pissed again.

Not a problem! Forward facing in my M4 without issue, and I had a rear-facing in my E92 M3 without a problem too - and that had less rear legroom!

That is good to know. My kid is still using rear facing car seat so it's larger. Maybe after a few months I could get a forward facing one to sit.

That is actually a good idea. I am going to bring the seat to try it at dealership. Thanks!

Actually just had both of my kids in car seats in my M4 this last weekend. 4 yrs and 2.5 yrs, both in forward facing car seats. No issues at all.

I just got a Britax Frontier 90 (forward facing harness to booster transition seat) and a Britax belt position booster (forget the name, but it has a back) in the back of an M4 Cabrio with no issues whatsoever. I'm 6'2" and sit way back and my son had room behind me.

YES, we're talking about baby seats on the M3 forum. Deal with it. lol

The Clek fit forward or reverse facing? My little guy is out growing his Nuna which is tight in my F30 335i...and if I trade it in, was curious the options I'd have.

I have a 3 month baby and a 3 year old in M4 daily driven plenty of space, I'll take a picture once I leave toys r us.

I don't consider 5.8 short but maybe it it's.
