Try a search. There are a few threads on this same topic. Many replete with multiple photos.

I've been using one of these in both the Porsche and BMW for a few years now. No complaints from my daughter.

i've got 4 and 5 year old girls. Tried evenflow, cosco, and graco turbobooster. All are good seats (do well in our other vehicles) but none fit very well in the M. the bolsters in the seats are more narrow than the booster making it hard for the kids to buckle themselves in. I have a hard time strapping them in if angle isn't right on. 5 year old is getting a lot better but still struggles. 4 year old can't ever get the seat in the right position to do it herself.

I understand its a sports car, but the buckles should not be at such an angle. It makes it very hard to get strapped in. A flat buckle would be so much better and really not impact the fit and feel. I bought the car to haul 4 people and go fast. My parents have a hard time latching the seatbelts when they have dared to sit in the backseat.
