My Ride: 535i xDrive E61
Model Year: 2010
Default Rear Seats and Kids

I have 6yo twins and I am 6'5" tall. This causes me to need to put the driver seat back cramping the kid behind me. This is since the rear seats are deep under thigh which makes my kids unable to bend their knees to point their feet down, which causes them to point their legs out straight and be cramped. I have tried flipping the booster seat to push them forward, but that isn't a legal configuration for the booster. If I could raise them up higher, or push them forward to match the knee with the edge of the seat, that would help, but I can't find a booster that would do that. Any ideas out there?

Looks like you need to look into an X5.

Something like this gives you extra 4" boost.
