I had to search and fight to get it without NAV and idrive because dealers were ordering them bloated. So back seat was a must and big enough to hold car seats. Also I was a fan of BMW and the performance based sedans and coupes. The 1M can comfortably carry my wife and kids. For that matter I drove it from Ontario, Canada to San Diego, California with the entire family. Try that in a lotus! : )

Well I totally understand what you are saying because that was exactly the reason I switched from a Lotus to an M2. Having said that, if you are looking for a real purist experience the 1M or M2 just doesn't compare. Wish the Atom or Mono was street legal here...
