so for tall bmw drivers

mpy041 · 07-18-2007, 03:46 AM

i want to get the 335i E92 am looking to place my order soon and i was wondering if I was too tall for this beast, am about 5"11,6"0 feet tall so what do u guys think ??

LyriCeZ · 07-18-2007, 04:02 AM

I am 5'10 and I have plenty of room in my e90.. I imagine it wouldn't differ much from the e90 to the e92.. should be plenty of room for you.

Tobizach · 07-18-2007, 04:06 AM

Under your Drives: you have a 328, so you already have your answer.

Its a german car and 6ft for germans isnt all that tall. So yeah I guess your safe

gonzo · 07-18-2007, 04:08 AM

Coupe has just a bit less head room. 6'2" with sedan and no problems. I do adjust the seat all the way down and then tilt front up. As low on the back and as high on the front of seat as possible helps long legs. You will be fine.

GreyGhost · 07-18-2007, 04:14 AM

I am 6'2" and there's no problem. My dad is 6'4" and it is a bit tight.

Xanith · 07-18-2007, 06:23 AM

I'm 6'4" and fit without much trouble in the 335 coupe. I did have trouble with the sedan because I had to put the seat back so far that the area between each door was right next to my left side and I was not able to use the arm rest and it was hard to get in and out of the sedan.

I could use SLIGHTLY more headroom & legroom (maybe 1 inch) and I would be totally comfortable.

Zephyr15 · 07-18-2007, 08:01 AM

Since when do 5'11" people have to worry about being too tall for things?

That's not "short," but it's not exactly "tall" these days either.

Anyway, try out the

Dr_Dirt · 07-18-2007, 08:25 AM

are you getting the 335 or did you get the 328?

PSUBALL10 · 07-18-2007, 08:34 AM

I'm 6'3" and dont have a problem in my e90 sedan. The person behind me is a little tight.

same here.

ward · 07-18-2007, 10:13 AM

at 5'11" are any cars too small?

doubleapex · 07-18-2007, 10:16 AM

I'm 6'5'', with a coupe, with a 6speed, without the seat all the way back even...and I fit perfectly.

halB · 07-18-2007, 10:20 AM

If you adjust the seat and the steering column properly you should have absolutely no problem. I am about 6' 0".

parachute · 07-18-2007, 10:25 AM

dude, ur not even tall, no need to be full of yourself

No and is it that hard to find a 3 series to sit in yourself?

Does it matter? I'm guessing you think those extra horses are filling up the interior.

Master Deep · 07-18-2007, 10:36 AM

lol. Yea u aren't THAT tall...haha

Im 6'2" and fit fine in the sedan. I used to put the seat all the way back but have now moved it up about an inch since i like the driving position better once im settled in. Tons of head and leg room. Seat is always all the way on the ground. I've sat in coupes too and I had more than enough room to be comfortable. U will be fine.

BMW_drei · 07-18-2007, 11:20 AM

Ditto to all the above -- I'm 6'1+" -- My only complaint would be that the steering wheel needs to adjust 1/2" more towards me. I'm hoping that by hanging on to the wheel under acceleration, my arms stretch...

Brunotheboxer · 07-18-2007, 11:55 AM

i'm 4 foot 13, does anybody have an extra phone book on hand?

shragon · 07-18-2007, 11:56 AM

6'2" and no issues.

TheAcAvenger · 07-18-2007, 11:57 AM

I'm 6'4ish and I got the coupe BECAUSE it had a whole lot of leg room in the front. Generally, coupes seem to have more leg room than their sedan brethren (i've never driven an e90, so I dont know if thats the case here), but i'm more than comfortable in my e92
