I see no difference between the Britex car seats I have and the BMW one, since they are the same Britex seats rebranded, I be testing one next time at the dealer.

Resurrecting a dead thread, but I am working the child seat issue so I thought I would share some data points.
First off, the spacing on ISOFIX and LATCH are specified by EU/DOT/whoever. BMW didn't decide on the spacing of the fittings, but they did decide on the location and structure.
I bought this car to replace an e46 330i when we had our third child. Our kids are currently 5 (booster), 2 (forward facing convertible), and 4mo (bucket). I ended up with 2x Diono Malibu for the older kids, and a Chicco Keyfit bucket in the middle. The bucket is a little bit wedged in between the two other seats, but it clicks into the base without too much effort. I had to buy a seatbelt extender for the passenger side seat, as there was no way to get at the buckle in between the two seats. But in the end, all three fit and I get to keep a sedan, and don't have to drive an SUV or minivan everyday.
