My 535i has more room back there and is certainly a nice car to drive or ride in.

The 6 GC is quite stunning looking, if not a good value for the money (IMO), and I'm not totally sworn off of it as the replacement for my e92, but I'm certainly going to wait for the F32 to come out before I make my buying decision. I'm not really seeking a GT-type of car. Despite wanting a bit more luxury/panache, that's something I can surely do without. First and foremost, every car, to me, is transportation and as such, each seat in my cars must be at least as endurable as a seat on a commuter jet for a one hour trip. I feel that if the seats are worse than that, there's no point in having a seat.

I just switched from a 535 to a 6 GC. I've never had a complaint about back seat space in either vehicle. That said, I probably wouldn't want to sit in the back of a GC for a road trip...
