Rear facing baby seat in e70?

Any of you guys have any pics or know if a rear facing baby seat in the e70 x5 will fit ok? I know in my Jeep Srt8, and ML, the passenger seat had to be all the forward if the baby seat was in the back. My wife used to be eating the dashboard. lol. Thanks in advance.

Of course it's going to fit okay. There are ppl out there with tiny car that have no problems putting in a rearfacing babyseat.

I just put in rear-facing Recaro. Its pretty close to the front seat, but fits ok. Recaros are pretty large and tall. You 'll have even better chances with more compact seats. But the best way to find out is to go to the dealer with the car seat. The other nuance is to see two row vs. three row sits. Rear bench of the three row sit option is adjustable. mine is a two row.

Fits ok but your seat can't be all the way back, I had to move our seats up a bit (twins), as well as tilt the seatbacks forward slightly, but still very comfortable for 5'10" me. You will love it once it's finally time to go forward-facing. It'll be a while before they can actually kick my seat.

I read recommendations that it's safest to put a rear-facing baby seat in the middle of the back seat. That's what we do and we have no fitment problems.

Well this is a picture of our rear facing in the back of the C4S and it also fits in the E70 too.

Right now my son is in a forward facing Recaro in my e90 335i. But I have another on the way, so just wondering if the X will fit the rear facing seat ok. Thanks guys
