Interior Space

Looking for comments on the interior space. Specifically, the back seats. Can 2 adults / 3 adults / 3 children / 2 car seats fit comfortably?

I currently drive a 427 Corvette which I will keep forever, but I am cross shopping M3, C63 for the additional space requirements. Any insight appreciated.

Depending on the size of the kids, you might get 3 in the back of either car. The limiting factor is width. Neither car has much of a middle seat and larger kids will be rubbing butts.

2 car seats should fit fine in either care.

I sat in/drove a C63 yesterday and was pleasantly surprised with how much room there is in the back. Another factor to consider is how tall you and your wife are. Me and my wife are average height (5'9"-me/5'6"-her) so the front seats don't have to be pushed back far which leaves even more space in the back. I would agree with irablumberg's assessment. Definitely plenty of room for 3 younger kids. The middle seat will be cramped for an adult which is pretty customary for any car this size. The two side seats have plenty of room for kids, average size adults, and car seats.
