Getting back to the 1st thread. You're looking to fit 3 car seats in an X right? 1st off, there's no 3rd row option in the X5M - just making sure you're aware of that.
Second, fitting 3 car seats is possible. If you do a search you'll find a few informative posts in here.
My personal opinion. I have 2 children, My son is three and daughter is two. Depending on the car seat you buy, you can't fit a third in the middle. I have two Britax Frontiers and there's no way a third could fit in the middle. See here (mine are black)

Lastly, if you do get the X5 5.0 and you go for the third row option, you still can't fold the second row forward in order to access the third row with a large, good seat attached. Removing is on the run isn't an option.
Your option here is to pop the hatch, keep one seat down and then have whoever jump in and access the third row this way.
Then there's the issue of fitting all that gear somewhere.. Three kids in an X5 is not an easy task.. Good luck with your decision..
