Been looking at a nice black F10 M5 as I might need to consolidate my 2 car fleet to 1... Understandably I didn't have the opportunity to test fit the child seats as the car is very, very new.

Can any owners comment on how easy it is to get x2 booster seat + 1 child seat in the back?

If it is any help to you, I have had our M5 with driver, passenger, plus my child seat in the back and a further 2 adults, so I would imagine that 2 x boosters and an isofix child seat would be no issues for it. Certainly there are 2 isofix fittings either side on the rear and still space for an adult in between.

Thanks for the info smile I think there are only 2 isofix fixings in the rear but was told there are 3...oh well.

I think it'll be a tight squeeze....Isofix seats take up a hell of a lot of room as they leave a gap between the seat and the door which is effectively dead space. The child sitting in the middle won't have much room because of the way the isofix seat will encraoch on where they will need to sit as defined by the central seat belt (if that makes sense).

We have an X5 which has two Isofix seats in it.....there is only a very small space between them....my wife who is very slim can fit there for very short journeys so a kid would be okay but it's not comfortable.

I don't know about the F10, but in the E7 X5 and E60 M5, there is not much room between two ISOFIX seats.
