3 Car seats fit in M5 or M6GC??
Hello all,
I've read and searched all over for help on this and so far only found 1 short vid of an M5 with 3 car seats (VERY snug) and some posts comparing the 2 cars. My situation is this, I have a 4yo and now also Twin boys, we currently have a 335 Convertible and an M3 Coupe. The 335 will be traded in for a Volvo XC90 that we plan to use as the "family car", and I am debating between the M5 or M6GC to trade in my M3 so we can have a back up car that "could" fit all 5 of us if needed. Question, does anyone know if you can fit 3 car seats in an M5 or M6GC? (2 rearfacing + 1 Forward facing)??? Pictures or other references would be greately appreciated. Thx |

You probably could in an m5 but wouldn't be ideal. You couldn't in the GC. Why not get an x5m?
In my situation I ended up just getting a third car, an suv for my wife, a GC for me, and another suv as a third car when I need to take the kids. |

Thank you all for the replies, thay really helped, and as sad as it might be I will have to hold back on htat M6 GC...
I will do a test fit with the seats in an M5 just to make sure (and convince my self with proof), that they do not fit... Again, thank you all. |

And BTW, i felt kind of "funny" when I read "... with all those kids...", I kind of felt like my dad, a man with a "big family"...
Funny, because it's true!! MAZ |

If you're looking for space then definitely not the M6GC. Bigger car, more rear seat space? Not in the case of the 6 series.
Below is interior measurements of (left to right) M3 - M5 - M6GC As you can see all rear measurements in the M3 is actually greater than the M6GC. |

Rear facing car seats are big (I have twins) and require latches over the seat to truly be secure, unless seats have gotten smaller I think you are going to have had time in any of those cars. I don't look at that sort thing any more but most cars used to have rear latch points for only two seats, which means you are going to have a hard time with most vehicles unless things have changed.
