Ah, thanks, yes, indeed, the seat does rake sharply as you go up so that will help and BMW manual does state that one should recline the seat further to help insert child seats and then bring it back up to meet the child seat after installation...so I think you will gain at least 5 cm's that way in any case but also more so that this 68 cm won't be the issue.

also, note that the ISOFIX points are higher up in the seat as well also you will be higher than the 'seat base' when it is inserted and supported on the floor by the lower legs of the child seat...you'll be fine.

I'll see if I can measure a few more points to show what I mean tomorrow (between the poor weather!)

Cheers.
