Putting an adult in the back seats for a long trip

trinity_2200 · 06-01-2013, 02:11 PM

Hi,

Has anyone trying to put an adult in the back seats of the 1M for a long trip, I may need to do one next month when one of my relative come to visit us. Just want to know how that feel, if it's not feasible, I may need to consider hiring a bigger car for the trip

its fine, drove from munich to paris (900 km) with a party of 3 guys, we took turn sitting in the back, was no problem

Should be feasible with the 1M.

Compare with the Audi TT space/room on the back seats.

I drove to the bmw museum last summer with two people in the back, both were 1,70 meters long and they didn't complain...

I had three separate trips, all day-long, with adults at the back, no one complained or looked more exhausted than me at the end of the trips but this also depends how tall are the driver and front passenger; if they are not too tall should be allright, just the knee space is a bit compromised there, shoulder and head space are fine.

I think you start by befriending some hairdressers.

They all drive TTs.

They should...TT looks like a wig, a well made one.

The TT's backseat was designed strictly to lower insurance rates. A 2+2 is cheaper then a 2 seater.

A 1 series rear has more room than an e36. At 6'1" I was comfortable in the back seat.

I fit 5 people in a TT before. Good times. The 1 will be fine, just move the front seat up some to split the leg room.

Sounds like I should give it a go

No problem,just done 1400 miles 4 up,had to compromise legroom upfront a little,but worked well.
