I have what may sound like a stupid question, but will ask anyway. I'm currently driving an 03 Honda Accord coupe, but LOVE the new E90, even though it's considerably smaller than what I'm currently driving. I'm about 6'2" - 6'3" (slim build - about 170lbs) & want to know if there are any other tall drivers out there who have an E90 & can share their experiences.
I'm not planning to buy (lease?) the car until the spring, but when I do, I know I'll go with either an 325xi or 330xi in Mystic Blue with black leather (ette?). Not sure I want to go with the SP or PP yet. Both seem like they might be an unnecessary expense for myself. I definitely want 17" rims & all-season tires because I'm from Long Island & don't want to have to deal with changing rims & tires 2x a year!
Does anyone have any recommendations? If anyone's from Long Island, do you have any good/bad dealer experiences or any advice for me at all? This will be my first bimmer & I want to do it right!!! Thanks everyone!!!

I'm 6'4'' and have enough head room. Slightly more than my previous E46.
Head room in the back has decreased slightly though, so no chance of you
comfortably sitting back there. Also, passengers behind you will be pretty
cramped for leg room. I call it my 3 seater....

When I went to test drive my car, my friend came with me and he's a little over 6 foot. He did not seem to have any problems with the size of the car.
However, I would say your safest bet would be to go to the dealership and test for yourself. Try getting in and out of the car a couple times an see if its a tight fit. Also, try adjusting the seat and see if you feel comfortable? In the end I think everyone is a little different. What may be more then enough room for me may not be enough for you. Good luck.

I have been in several Accord Coupes. I would think that an Accord coupe is significantly larger than a E90. They didnt seem much larger than my E36 which is smaller than an E90.
FWIW I am 6'4" 235#

I am 6' 2" and I sat in the 330 at the dealer and was surprised how far the seat would go back. I had plenty of legroom. I will probaly order one later this year or early next.
