Retrofit of ISOFIX into a car without?

[Scania]

Had an interesting Christmas, I’ve discovered my daughter is six months pregnant!

Straight away I’ve gone into “I’m going to be a Grandad” mode, buying pipe & slippers etc

Anyway a serious concern has crossed my mind, I have a 2000 facelift 735i, I’m assuming it doesn’t have ISOFIX (child seat mountings) but have been googling and I can’t find a definitive answer to if it has ISOFIX or the retrofit question.

Does anyone know if an ISOFIX retrofit is possible and if so from whom, if not, what’s my best option for safe use of a child seat in the rear of my 735i?

Thanks.

I don't know much about BMWs but have a look on ebay at these...

I've had a good trawl through eBay and Amazon, most BMW's are listed but I'm yet to find something suitable for an e38 7 alas.



I've checked the car and there are no brackets under the seat whatsoever so I'm going to speak to BMW (which my owners manual suggests) because apparently secure anchor points for a child seat can be fitted (at a cost of course) to let me securely mount a seat.
I'm not too keen on using belts if I can help it after an incident when my own daughter was a baby back in 1996, I had a relatively minor bump - which was still enough to write the car off - and the seatbelt detatched from the seat (the bracket on the Brittax seat you fed the belt through snapped) and my daughter ended up on the floor with the seat on top of her - thankfully none the worse for wear - so, you can all understand my desire to have a fixed seat this time around.

Over cautious? perhaps but after my own experience, I'd rather take any precautions I can.
