Fitment nuance per vehicle
BMW 1 Series
Since the F40 (2019) the 1 Series is front-wheel-drive with a much flatter transmission tunnel than the earlier RWD cars - three across in the back is more realistic, but rear cabin width is still narrow, so wide booster/isofix bases can foul the transmission-tunnel hump. The 40/20/40 rear seat is standard from Sport trim up; the centre pass-through fits skis or 2.5-m timber up to about 8 cm across.
Ford Focus
The Active trim sits ~30 mm higher with plastic wheel-arch cladding and a slightly different roof profile, so roof-bar leg lengths differ from Titanium/ST-Line - check the fitting guide for Focus Active specifically. All hatch trims share the same boot mouth, but ST-Line seats have integrated bolsters that trap universal seat covers with elastic side hooks.
