[s-cars] 3rd Row Safety

[Chris Ludlow]

I used to be able to put 3 car seats in the back of my 95 UrS6 and they fit 
fine.  These were when my kids were infants/toddlers/and most recently as 5 
and 6 year olds (yes twins and a sister 12 months older).  We also have a 
'01 530i and the seats would not fit in the BMW.  The UrS is gone now to 
Seattle area and I'm in the hunt to replace it with a nice S8 or C5 S6.
