Seating & Cargo
Four of the M's five seats offer ample legroom and headroom, but the bulky floor hump in back means a fifth passenger has to share foot room. The front seats have standard 10-way power adjustments, and there's plenty of range for taller drivers. After you park, the steering wheel automatically powers upward to ease exit and entry — and does so much faster than in some of the more cantankerous steering columns in the M's peers.
Maximum cabin volume is 105.2 cubic feet, and trunk volume is 14.9 cubic
feet. Like most cars in this class, the M lacks a folding backseat. There's a
center pass-thru for skis or other long items, but it's fairly small. (If you
want a car with a folding seat in this segment, try the E-Class or XF.)
