A 911 actually makes some sense in the narrow age range where the older kid is big enough to buckle herself in but small enough to not be bothered by the lack of rear seat room. At the same time, I'd recommend taking your kid to sit in a 911 and see what she thinks. Even at 4, my daughter was...not impressed by the legroom or lack thereof.
The other thing is that rear facing seats have gotten even bigger somehow and need to be rear facing even longer. There's no way one of those is going in a 911; my guess is that even an F80 is going to be tight in the front passenger seat with a rear facing seat behind it. We could barely fit a rear-facing seat in the middle of the E90 back in 2011, which is one of the reasons we ended up with a 535XiT. It made the front seat unusable if it was in the right-hand rear seat. The F80 is bigger and might be better in that regard, though.

This makes a lot of sense, thanks! Putting a rear-facing seat in a 911 does seem like it'll take up a ton of room which is part of the reason I had sort of written it off. And you're right - I don't think the 4yo will be thrilled with the legroom. F80 makes almost too much sense, but man I really do want a 911.
