2006 BMW Z4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6
6-speed manual RWD
Adjustable thigh bolster and seat back bolsters offer great support and the Nappa leather is grippy to prevent sliding around. see full BMW Z4 review
2006 2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD
I find the front seat, even heated, to have great lumbar support, my sciatica does not bother me even when I have to use the clutch. Those with long legs are amazed at all the leg room available. see full BMW Z4 review
2005 2dr Convertible 184-horsepower 2.5L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
enough leg room for a six-footer (unlike the Miata we almost bought) see full BMW Z4 review

I would not recommend the car for EXTREMELY long road trips or the like. Comfort wise, if you used to something that is very plush or soft the car will feel too hard on badly paved roads. see full BMW Z4 review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 BMW X1

2013 BMW X1 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2013 BMW makes great sport seats, with support in the right places and power-adjustable side bolsters. This said, those in the X1 Sport Line feel less cushy, and so less overtly comfortable, than I recall from other BMWs. The Evoque's front buckets lack adjustable side bolsters, but feel more luxurious. While the BMW wins on support, the Land Rover wins on comfort. Another tie. Update: when I later had an Evoque for a week its seats felt less comfortable than they had during the dealer test drive. So I'm revising this rating in favor of the BMW. see full BMW X1 review
2013 BMW X1 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The BMW X1's interior dimensions also closely resemble those of the previous-generation 3-Series. Up front, there's a little less space to stretch out than in the X3. But abundant headroom. About half of the X1's additional height is over one's head--you sit only a couple inches higher than in the 3-Series. This additional airspace also distinguishes the X1 from the allroad. Rear seat room could be more of an issue. As in the old 3 and the new allroad, a couple of average-sized adults will fit behind a couple more with perhaps an inch or two of clearance for their knees, while a third would be a squeeze. The seat back reclines, but the seat cushion is too low to provide good thigh support. The Evoque is similarly a less-than-ideal choice for four-plus adults taking a long trip. see full BMW X1 review
