The amount of adjustment on the seats was incredible.

I feel that most rear passenger seats appear like an after thought. If we spend all our time in the front, particularly as the driver, easy to forget that most rear passengers are putting up with the ride, rather than enjoying it.

To see a car with the rear passengers getting the same comfort as a front passenger is particularly appealing to some markets, similar to LWB models having favour for rear leg room.

I should have responded sooner as this thread has probably run its course now... Whilst the F10 may be based on the 7 series platform it doesn't share the same wheelbase. The 5 GT does have the same wheelbase as the 7 which is why it has a fairly significant amount of extra rear legroom - the 5 F10 saloon's wheelbase is around 10cm shorter (& is a little narrower too)...

I test drove a couple of 5gt s. Fabulous cruiser but less sharp than the F10/F11.
Plus the boot is poorly designed for taking a bike so I went for the F11.

Seems to me that model proliferation is going crazy though. Example being 3 series saloon, tourer, GT, 4 series 2 door, 4 series 4 door x3 and x4. I really don't get the 4 series 4 door coupe.
