Being a very tall guy, my car choices are extremely limited. I fit very well behind the wheel and the seat can go quite a ways back. see full BMW 3-Series review |

Small, small, small. Rear facing carseat only fits in the middle seat. Pain to get baby in and out of car. see full BMW 3-Series review |

The rear seats are really only useful for storing luggage or mounting child seats. The backs were concave and the inability to adjust them made it very painful for anyone above the age of 12 to ride back there. see full BMW 3-Series review |
