Lol, i guess it would have helped to specify the model #. I have the Britax 65 and it fits. My wife is around 5'2 as well and there is still plenty of leg room up front.

Well pulled the trigger and purchased something.
Graco Urban Lite Travel System. Comes with the SnugRide30 infant seat. Then after buying it, I realized I have no idea if this stroller will fit in the trunk. Kinda matches SilverstoneII too.

Prince lion heart seat protectors awful, too big and not flexible.
I would suggest confirming what stroller you will use then you can determine first seat. We bought a bugaboo bee pus which only works with a few seats. We chose the maxi cosi mico with two bases. One in each car. Now that she is older we have the recaro pros portion the m3 and the proride in the q5. Proride is almost too tall for rear facing in the m3. No leg room either. But both are perfect for forward facing.

Great thread! Exactly what I was looking for!!!! I'm likely giving my brother my E92 335i and getting an E90 M3. One of my major concerns was the baby seats.
Also, only other questions I have are: Is the exhaust "subtle" enough if I granny it that a baby would stay asleep? Suspension "soft" enough while driving around town with a baby in the back? Also looking into Audi S4, Cadillac CTS-V (wagon), F30 335i... |

We started with the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 infant seat and at 6 months, he's close to being too tall for it so we picked up the Primo Viaggio SIP 5-70 Convertible this past weekend.
We tried mounting the Recaro ProRide and it's a bit taller than the Peg thus reducing front passenger leg room. Right now, we can have someone around 5'10" to maybe 6" sit comfortably in the front passenger seat. We were sold on the Primo Viaggio SIP 5-70 Convertible after test fitting it and really liked it's build quality. You can see how much space the Peg leaves between the seat and the top of the door opening - the Recaro had significantly less room and we pretty much had to have our son in a near horizontal position to get him in and out of the seat: Note that the M3 does not have any place (that I could find) to latch the back of the seat down and with the help of the dedicated sales rep at the baby store, we came up with this solution: And this is how we cinched it down to the mounting bolt of the front passenger seat: The rep gave us the extra piece to loop around the bolt so it's something that you'll have to find and purchase. We also had to purchase this for $4.99 to help keep the seat parallel to the ground since the M's seat base does sink down toward the seat back quite a bit: http://us.diono.com/en/car-seat-accessories/sit-rite Good luck!

The Britax Boulevard fit well in my e90. I have since swapped up to the Recaro Start (I think that they've discontinued it, but THIS is the booster seat to have) and it fits like a glove as well-other than making it a little difficult to attach the seat belt. The base is a bit wide, so the seat needs to be moved laterally a bit to clear the buckle.

I have an e90 m3 and we use the Chicco brand car seat. It is rear facing and the best part about it, is you drop the seat in and it almost always finds the locked position. I didn't like the Graco or brittax seats for the base lock mechanism only. It is also a lower price brand.
No complaints.

The brand is not critical - what is important is that you calculate the seat's impact (weight / location) on the car's weight distribution before you decide...

Also curious what some of you think of the Bugaboo Bee stroller? My wife is set on getting this and noticed it only has adapters for Graco, Maxi cosi, chicco or Britx cars seats. Trying to find out if anyone one here uses this stroller if so, which car seat you went with. We are expecting our first in July.

Now I am using Britax Chaperone Infant Carrier for my 18-month-old boy. With ISOFIX base, you have to adjust the driver or front passenger seat so that it will stay in the right position. What I am doing right now is to put it in the middle of rear seat, and I still fix it using ISOFIX. The advantage of Infant Carrier is that you just take the carrier when your baby is sleeping. |

When Junior was an infant we used the Maxi Cosi infant car seat and adapter along with the Quinny Buzz 4. Although the Quinny is large (will fit in the trunk on E90/E92) it has great quality. When he grew out of the infant car seat about a 14 months ago - we purchased an Recaro Pro Ride car seat that fits in all of our vehicles including the MINI. We also used the isofix attach points.
Congrats on the newest addition to your family

Maxi Cosi/Bugaboo
I have the Bugaboo Bee and the Maxi Cosi Mico car seat. We have a base in my E92 M3 and another base in our minivan. I use the Mico behind me in the M3- it is fairly large - I am 5'6" and can just squeeze back to my optimal seat settings. Using it behind the driver still allows me to have adequate room for a passenger in the back behind the passenger seat or for a large passenger in the front seat. My wife made a custom seat cover that attaches around the head rest posts and has cutouts for the seat belt - sweet! The Mico works well with the Bee and the combination is very portable/mobile - small, lightweight, and quick to assemble.

Probably not but you have an E90 which may have more room or a different configuration in the back. You can always put it in the passenger side if you don't have a large passenger in the front.
