    Too tall for an e30??

    Just went to test drive my first e30 today and I was surprised at how tight of a fit it was. I'm about 6'2" and 235lbs, my knees were in the dash and head felt like it was rubbing the roof. Are there any other taller dudes who drive e30's? Is this just a short(er) mans car?

    I'm 6'4" 200 pounds and I don't have a problem. What seats were in the car and did you slide them back? I don't even have to slide my sports all the way back to be comfortable

      Here ya go!



      At 5'11" I feel like I'm at the upper echelon of E30 drivers in that you can't be too much taller.

              IIRC Farbin Kaiber is 6'9" 260lbs, has a posse. But he also fits into an E30. There, of course, is no room behind the driver's seat for Tastykake wrappers.
