Kid seats in M cars

[Iandk]

Hi

Very long time lurker here, just bought an F10 M5 (just done 3yrs in a Volvo without possibility of parole).

Sorry for a post that’s not very exciting

My little boy is big and old enough (just) for a U.K. legal booster seat and he’s hoping to sit in the front with me from time to time. I appreciate BMW have a section on this in the manual but it’s fairly risk adverse.

Are there any considerations about the active seats or backrest width if I use a high back hard plastic child seat? With a booster alone will the seat width squish together enough to hold a little boys frame? Does the F10 do the cornering thing on the seat sides?

I’ve told him BMWs sense when little children are in the car and they only drive slowly so this isn’t a speed thing.

Thanks

Ian

Thanks for this....I think I’ll stick with the hardback isofix then.

Please don’t tell him I’m just using him to get the wider parent and child spaces to avoid dents

That car is awesome, is there a thread on the spec somewhere?
