    Extreme Height + E30 = ?

    Who takes the award for "Tallest e30 Owner" ?

    Anyone have any height related issues with owning an e30? Posted in interior, but I dont think many will look there. Hoping anyone may have some info. I'll tell ya what, It's a royal pain in the ass enjoying small sporty coupes and being this tall.

        I'm 6'2" to 6'3" depending on who measures me and my E30 fit me great, a lot better than my E28 did in fact...

        The E30 had sport seats however, and the E28 had the super springy comfort seats... Once I swapped my Recaros in I had around 2.5" more headroom... I think that's the answer for you freaks out there.

          I try.

          EDIT: BTW Blunt can verify for me. Once he's done I might let him stick his head above the desk and type out a message.

            It's a good thing I didn't reply as above. I may have really brought out the Napoleon Bonaparte Syndrome in some of you...

                  i'm not super tall, maybe 5'10 or 11, but much of my height is in my trunk; most cars are a pain as i dont have to have the seat all the way back but my head is in the roof. I also hate the lean-back driving style; my seat is mostly upright.

                  my recaro sport with Wedge Engineering superlow bracket gives me about 2" of headroom.

                    I'm a mild lean-backer, as there is nowhere else for the upper 25%+ of my body to go otherwise.

                      I used to know a girl in HS with that name! :p

                      Never cared to verify it tho.

                      And on the basis of this thread, I am 5'11 and fit just fine with any sport seats.

                            i'm 6'3" or 6'4" and e30's fit me like a glove. Sometimes I wish my seat would go back another click, but the recaro sports going in on wedge brackets will hopefully take care of that.
