BMWs are demanding. Aren't BMWs acknowledged for their ergonomics, driver-orientation? For me it was one of the reasons to choose. You just have to comply. Say, the lumbar support optional feature. I had to consider it closely due to exceeding my budget too badly. Having put myself in a 7 Series that had it made me instantly feel even worse with my severe swayback issue at that time. I chose to skip it. Now that I've improved a lot I see it differently. Not that much to retrofit but to target definitely next time.

Those other cars mostly let you sit like shit in a toilet if you like to. And if you do - just choose appropriately, of course.

From your description you might have an issue pulling your foot up/back to release the floor-mounted accelerator pedal. Are you a high-heeling lady incidentally? Can you do like this (mind the extreme bending forward: this must be compensated with bending backward appropriately to keep your flexibility in balance!)? Here is an article you might find useful.
