6'3" - is a sunroof ok?
Hi all,
I'm currently looking at 2 used 535d M Sport at the min but have a couple of questions. 1 of them is 3 hours away so would appreciate any info before I go travelling.
1. I am just over 6'3" and like to sit reasonably up right when driving. 1 of the cars has a sunroof, will this be ok or is it a little too snug?.
2. Does any one have any pics / links of their car in Mystic Blue? I have found the following link http://e60.net/information/options/e...r/mystic_blue/ but the colour seems a little green and wanted to check this first.
The other car is Carbon black with black interior which is the same as my current car. A good combo but the blue would be a little different to my last few cars.
Any links or suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm 6' 3" and have no problems with my sunroof or any other inside dimension of the car. I do lower the seat all the way and have plenty of head room and leg room. Can't help w/ the Mystic Blue!

Is there even a choice anymore? Dont all BMWs come with sun roofs now? maybe besides the convertibles... Is there still an option in Europe?
I am a little over 6'3 no problems at all with fitment. I do have my seat at the lowest setting. But I also sit upright as well. I drove a new 335 coupe recently, had no problem fitting in it either.
+1 - 6'6" here. Seat is all the way down (which is a perfect position for tall people - not too low in cockpit). My head is no where NEAR the headliner. You'll be more than fine! Enjoy and no worries.
As for the blue - just my HUMBLE opinion here but.. wouldn't go the blue personally. It's just not a sexy color, hard to sell, doesn't look good unless perfectly clean, makes the car appear UNsporty.
There's my .02
Good luck brother.
Cheers.

I'm 6'3" and I have the seat at it's lowest position. It's not really fair to go by height as everyone is different. Some have short legs and long torsos and of course vice versa. I happen to have shorter legs and a long torso and my hair usually ends up getting the frizzies from the liner.
Touche' JRS!
Apparently there IS an issue here. I thought it would be impossible to hit the roof as I'm a pretty tall 6'6. I stand corrected.
Everyone should measure themselves accordingly. ;-)
