One thing for all you tall drivers out there to think about-I had not sat in a four door E30 since driving my sister's just bought new '86 325. Back then, I was still about four inches shorter in height, but now at 6'8" the four door with the standard seats will not give me hardly any leg or headroom at all-there is no way I could drive one! For very tall people as myself, a two door with height-adjustable sport seats is just about the only option. Sure you can put a sport seat in the four door, but to get enough room the seatback will be so reclined that your head will be positioned behind the B pillar-making you look like you are driving from the back seat.
I'll stick with the two doors, thanks.Eric Giles

I've got a coupe and a sedan. Personally I think the coupe looks a little better, but i'm rebuilding the 4 door for ease of carrying people.
