If so I will really be tempted. As is, the 1M is simply too small and impractical for my needs.
See, I seriously doubt that. It's assured to be a big oink.

If the current one is no fun, how can the new one be better in that regard?

Meh. My daughter's fine back there. It's roomier than the MCS. And we have the E46 wagon for when we need any more back seat.

Got the summer shoes back on and took her for a wash today. Always a great day of the year when the wider, stickier rubber goes back on. Inspired me to come back here and state that I still love this car very very much, about 45,000 miles later.

Actually, no! She's still fine back there, when she sits behind my wife anyway. (My wife is only 5'2")
