    Need some advice from some pros

    I am thinking about going down the e30 route because I have loved the design for years and now I can finally afford one. I do have one question I am about 6'4" and I need to know if it is even feasible for me to fit in one??? Someone please help me out.

    Thanks!!

          Ya the e30 is one of the only small cars that you will fit in and be able to drive. The real issue is if you weigh 300+ pounds...thats where the seats seem to get a little tight!
          The difference between porcupines and BMWs is that porcupines have the pricks on the outside!

                i think youll fit in here lol.


                but ya, youll have plenty of room. you'll know once you test drive the one you want to buy. i might suggest looking for sport seats. they adjust a lil but more than regular ones. and are more comfortable

                  6'4" also and it fits me perfect with the sport seats, def get one with sport seats,,,,, only issue I have is when wearing a helmet it rubs the headliner a little.

                      You'll be fine as everyone is saying.
                      If you plan on auto-x'ing or whatever and have issues with the helmet hitting the headliner, look into swapping in convertible seats. I think they sit lower iirc.

                        Ya man it won't be a problem. My dad is 6'5 265lbs and he didn't think he could fit in my car but surprisingly he did. I let him drive it and now he wants one haha.

                          you may look into swaping in some recaro trophys in place of sport seats. if you are a bigger person (not just tall) the sport seats can be a little uncomfortable. you can also do your brackets so the seats will sit a little lower at that point too.

                          i am 6' 235lbs and the sport seats were a little tight for me.
