Basic question, but are there 2 seats or 3 in the back of the E46 M3?

Cheers.

IIRC, 3.

There is an option of a 3rd three-point harness, which I think also gets a thirds head rest. Without that, I believe its a lap belt.

The cabriolet has only 2 rear seats.

Thanks all.

So, if I was to buy an M3 without the option, how much hassle is it to get a third seatbelt / headrest put it?

Cheers.

It's a serious squeeze for three adults. If you want to put three children in, then you probably don't need a third head restraint. You'll never fit three child seats in it though.

yes Two and a half would be more accurate than three.

I saw in a motoring mag recently there is a company that makes BMW rear seats for children, the whole bench in a 4 seat version..looked very impressive..if you are that way inclined?..they probably do 3 seat adaptions too, though I cannot remember the firm..google search

That was in Evo - I was just looking through the article to find the company!

Not cheap though...

Guys, as always, thanks for the replies.

The multimac info is really useful and has also made me think 335i Coupe smile

Cheers again.
