2006 BMW 3-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6

back support see full BMW 3-Series review
2006 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6

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

very little leg room. see full BMW 3-Series review
2007 2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6

I have the coupe, the back seats are just an afterthought. see full BMW 3-Series review
2007 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Too small & cramped. Fit and finish was much less desirable than my past 1998 5 series BMW. see full BMW 3-Series review
2006 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD
Small. see full BMW 3-Series review

Entering and exiting and overall seat comfort are not designed for taller or larger drivers see full BMW 3-Series review
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6

A little tight for taller adults. see full BMW 3-Series review
2006 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
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
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD
There is little foot room and the ride is rough. see full BMW 3-Series review
