I'm 6-foot-6 and I ended up in an E60 specifically because of the size of the car. Most other cars have too little headroom, or footroom, or both. Once having driven it, of course, there were plenty of other reasons to like the car.

As I mentioned on another thread... the 3 series has grown in size since 2008...
I felt cramped in a 2007 3er but when I sat in a 2010 3er it was very similar to my 5er.

I thought the latest changes was in 2008 similar to our 5 series.
But the 2010 3'er I sat in are larger interior specs.

Front Head Room: 38.5 in. Front Shoulder Room: 55.4 in.
Rear Head Room: 37.5 in. Rear Shoulder Room: 55.1 in.

Interesting poll results... It would appear that either E60 owners are taller than average by a wide margin, or else people who answer polls are.
