    It is wierd to here how different people fit into these cars. They are all the same, yet some taller people seem to fit better in the cars than shorter people. Like above, you are 6' 1" and you hit the celing in regular seats. I am taller, and have massive amounts of head room. The seats do not even have a raise or lower option so that aspect is not in question.

    Also, I am tall, and weigh 250 pounds. Big frame, kinda muscular, but also on the chubby side. I fit into sport seats no prob. I also have some ebay seats that my friend said I could not fit into. I fit no prob there eaither. Must be how comfortable people feel in the seats. I feel fine in an e30, and I have driven four, one being a cabby.

      Damn I thought this thread was checking to see whose car sits the highest off the ground on the forum. I would have won for sure.. oh well.

      I was 5' 11" last time I checked. E30's are perfect for me.

        6'6" here, I fit fine but my car has the flat non sport seats...

        I think some tall people are torso tall and some are leg tall which can account for two people of the same height fitting differently?

          that sounds spot on... sometimes you see some short legged people with like 1.7 times the right torso proportion.

                        Sport seats & SRD's feel like they used my butt for a template.

                        I think I run 205#, 210-215# when it's winter. 6' on the nose. I buy 36" waist jeans to tuck a holster in, to give an idea of hipbone width.

                        It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.
