I would NOT like to have 3 kids sit in the back of the M6 GC.

Irrespective of how comfortable they might be and how easy/difficult it would be to fit 3 car seats or booster seats (which I think would be hard/impossible) the large rear center console really does make this impractical except as a once in a long while event.

Kids clambering over the seats to straddle the center console would be a recipe for causing damage to both the seats and the console.

The 6 GC boot is pretty large, but as already mentioned the opening is not great. You can get a pram in quite easily as it's quite long, but if you try to combine that with some medium to large suitcases you'll have problems. Yes, the seats fold, but they don't fold flat and you can't fold them with 3 rear passengers. Seat folding is more for the occasional long item you might want to carry, and even then it's not easy to get long things through the boot opening, this is not an estate or even a hatch back.

If you regularly carry 3 rear passengers of any size, don't get a 6 series.
