E46 M3 daft question- child seats

[Dominic H]

Afternoon,
I'm contemplating an M3 E46 either coupe or cab. I have a couple of kids, so I'm idly wandering if a couple of full size infant, forward facing car seats will fit in the cab? Or is the rear seating area the same size as the coupe? Anyone have any experience with the above?

Thanks for your help

I face the same, and it is possible to put two in, however due to the seat shape the base units do not sit flush on the seat, I have pillows under mine to level them and stop the leather getting scratched, you will also probably find you need to pull front seat forward a bit for leg room, BMW do an iso fix version that I have seen but its not designed for the bucket style seats of the M3. Also took a while to get the seat tight enough but managed it eventually.

hope this helps,

Paul

Thanks Paul,

I thought it might be a squeeze. I'll pop into the local AD with a couple of Britax and try'em for size. I suppose I really should get a pair of Recaro kiddy seats, it'd be rude not to.

Dom.
