          The fact that these cars can comfortably fit such a wide range of body types speaks well for the design.

            5'9, 150lbs. It has never felt cramped. Pretty roomy, actually.

              6' 235lbs. I have recaro trophys which are a little wider then sport seats. I also made the brackets sit a little lower. Fits me just fine.

                6'3" 220 I still have an inch left in moving seat back. No rear passengers allowed. All I own are e30's. Recaro srd and sport seats. I'm a big mofo. I fit fine. Now my dad maybe not, his head does sit above my vert window

                  6'7, Currently waiting for my sports seat to be recovered so my head isn't hard against the roof (like it is with comfort seats). I usually have an inch of headroom. The backseat behind me is also totally useless in my driving position even though its a four door. meh :wgaf: I like the car so passengers can walk!

                      I'm 6'0" and I fit very comfortably. I've tried a few different distances from the wheel and found one that works, but I could move forward or back if I wanted. Also, maybe passengers wouldn't be too comfortable but that's their problem! :p

                      I'm positive the comfort seats adjust height-wise because I set mine down as far as they would go for headroom. The base rises and falls in the back, by the pivot.

                        5'11" 180 I love the fit of an E30. I was just driving a newer Hyundai Elantra (a relatively small car) and everything felt so huge and far away...especially the A pillars, those are MASSIVE.

                        Only thing my E30 needs in more lumbar support...then it would be perfect...maybe A/C would be kinda nice, too.

                            I can height adjust my comfort seats, just push down on the lever.. Are they not all like that?

                              I just tried with my stock comfort seats. They adjust but will remain at max low.

                              On topic:

                              I'm 5' 9"/175cm with T-Rex spec arms and with the stock comfort seats all the way forwards, the pedal position is absolutely perfect. All pedals can be firmly pressed to the floor without having to stretch at all. With the Momo Prototipo wheel and momo hub the steering wheel position is absolutely spot on too.

                              It feels like I'm part of the car as opposed to just sitting in it. Absolutely perfect seating position, only road car I've ever sat in that feels as good is the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86/Scion FRS.

                                5'9, 115lbs (yes, i'm skinny as fuck), fits me nicely, steering wheel and pedals are positioned perfectly with seat approx halfway inbetween

                                My comfort seats also height adjust
