6'-1" (1.85m) Person

teagueAMX · 06-30-2009, 10:30 AM

I'm 6'-1" (1.85m)tall and not too fat. Saw a video that that fitment may be a little tight in the '08 Z4. I am looking that the newer Z4, however.

My other alternative may be to get a nice pre-owned Z4 M Coupe for weekend driving and a larger car (X6) daily driving. Trouble is I want it all - nice daily driver that converts into a monster for ripping it up on the weekend or the occasional rally.

Impossible?

1.85m fits easy in the E85 and E89.

Thanks for the info.

At 6'1" you'll fit in pretty much anything, I'm 6'5" and fit in the E85 and all current BMW's, Mercs, Audis.

The only cars I have trouble getting comfortable in are the Lotus Elise/Exige, Ferrari Testarossa & Mondial and the original mini.

I am 6'4" and fit fine in the E89, and most of my height is in my legs.

E89 is no problem for tall guys (I am 183cm, weight 200Lbs). But the wind deflector is just a waste of money for tall drivers.

I have done a test-drive (sDrive23) and fit just fine as well (183cm). As for the wind deflector...i am under the same impression that it is not so useful. Any-one tried it without it to tell the difference?

I am 183cm tall...no problem at all....
