loan car

So I took my 116 in for its first service today and got a 125 convertible as the loan car.
Fully gutted that my wife is working and I have the kids so I cant really enjoy the sunny day.
Before you ask, it doesn't like like I can put my child seat in the back

It's been a while since I drove a convertible but I thought it was mandatory to put child restraint anchors in?

Even my 1991 MX-5 has an anchor point behind the passenger's seat!

On my E88 there are definitely child seat anchor points. There might not be much space depending on how large your child seat it but they're definitely there.

They're there. Took me a while to figure it out when I had my vert.
On the top third of the seats there is a split in the leather, feed your hand/fingers in there and you'll find the anchor point. It's not at the top or back of the seat as you would expect in a coupe/sedan.

Thanks for the tip but I forgot to check back and didnt get it in time.
Good news is they had to order a part so Im back in 2 weeks. I might request the same car if its sunny.
