You should not be sitting with your foot flat on the floor. The dead pedal is there for a reason. If your father is in his 90s, I assume that you have been driving for some time, so it may be difficult to change this habit. However, it is not BMW's fault that you are sitting yourself in a poor position.
Personally, I find my F30's seats to be extremely comfortable (sport seats). I am scheduled for back surgery in a few weeks because of severe injuries I sustained in a crash of another vehicle, and the only car that I am comfortable in is the F30. As much as it pains me to say, the 18-way Recaro seats in my 911 aren't as comfortable at my 328i. Try driving in the proper seat position and I think you won't have any comfort problems.

I agree the seats are quite comfy. It's just the bad driving position and that left knee. But I don't see me sitting differently either and this is the first 3er (or car really) in which I've had this issue.
There is yet hope for poor ol' me. I was quite a good student in school. Perhaps if I take a PCD class, I'll correct my bad habit.
