E92/E93 - no.
E90 - yes.

In other words, the E90 is a five seat car and includes a center rear seat. The E92/93 are four seaters, and while I do not have the manual here, I cannot see how it is possibly safe or recommended to put a child seat of any kind in the center in those cars. Not to mention, it would destroy your center console section back there.

For historical persepctive - the E46 coupes (M3 and otherwise) were five-seaters just like the sedan. The convertible was a four seater. Now, with the E9x, the coupe is a four-seater (a "2+2" if you will) just like the convertible.
