2006 BMW 5-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 360-horsepower 4.8L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I cannot sit behind me. see full BMW 5-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I'm 5' 9" and the front seat room semed cavernous to me. I once had a 6' 5" passenger in the front seat who voiced no complaint. 10. see full BMW 5-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	My car did not have either the sports seats nor the comfort seats, both of which I tried and found superior; significantly so. The 'base' seats in my car were not the best seats I've ever had in a car although in fairness, they did not punish my lower back as once did the seats in my Infiniti G35x. They were adequate; more an ally than a foe. They also lacked meaningful thigh or side bolsters and so were clearly the choice of Buick-minded buyers, and so did not invite spirited driving. I score thm a 6. see full BMW 5-Series review
