| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
More padding, slightly larger than e46 sport seats, fully adjustable side bolsters and the Dakota leather seems thicker and softer than the e-46 leather. see full BMW 3-Series review |

back support see full BMW 3-Series review |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Heated, 8-way, with lumbar control: seems to have comfort covered for most drivers (wheel does not telescope). see full BMW 3-Series review |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 333-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
My M3 is the only sports car I found that will comfortably fit a baby seat in the rear. :) see full BMW 3-Series review |

I have the coupe, the back seats are just an afterthought. see full BMW 3-Series review |

Too small & cramped. Fit and finish was much less desirable than my past 1998 5 series BMW. see full BMW 3-Series review |

A little tight for taller adults. see full BMW 3-Series review |

The rear seats are comfortable, but due to the size of/shortness of the car there is not much legroom, a full size adult will have trouble getting their feet into the footwells. Mind you, the trunk space is immense for such a small car. see full BMW 3-Series review |

There is little foot room and the ride is rough. see full BMW 3-Series review |

I am 6'-7" tall. Audi builds cars that I can fit into comfortably. My 1998 A4 was the first car that truly fit me, and the S5 is just as good, if not better. see full Audi A5 / S5 review |

| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD |
Not room enough for sufficient leg space for both front and rear passengers at the same time. Rear seat room is tight. Makes you want to avoid having rear passengers in the car. Typical for a 2-door. see full Audi A5 / S5 review |
