BMW PCP Discussions

Can anyone please direct me to any good discussions about BMW PCP? On the face of it, when compared to other manufacturers, BMW repayments always seem lower, but with higher GFV. For example, £32k X5 for £250 pcm, compared to £400 pcm for a Discovery 4 of similar price (albeit higher mileage). If I s ...

Re: Car Seat in the middle seat of an X5

Success. Three boosters no problem in the second seat, of a 7 seater. The photo above is a 5 seater. Not sure why the 7 seater should be different, but the buckles were much more compliant, and we could easily reach in to buckle up without skinning our knuckles. In fact the kids could easily do them ...

Re: Car Seat in the middle seat of an X5

We have looked at getting a Rodi on ebay just to test the x5 middle seat.  Is the E53 narrower than the E70?

Re: Car Seat in the middle seat of an X5

Re: Car Seat in the middle seat of an X5

So they have deliberately designed the car so you cannot fit anyone in the middle seat?

If it is not safe for a child seat, and it is too narrow for any adult, what use is the middle seat, other than as an arm rest?

Car Seat in the middle seat of an X5

Hello New to the forum. Sorry for the inane initial post but has anyone managed to fit a car seat in the second row middle seat of a E70 X5? We have measured the distance between the seat belt buckles for the middle seat and it's only about 300mm. The car seems wide enough for three car seats or ...
