One of the many reasons I hate sunroofs.
My E90 M3 is a slicktop, so lots of extra headroom, but even in that car with the seat adjusted all the way down, I have about 2 finger widths of room or less.
The M2C slicktop with the new design seat adjusted all the way down yields more than twice that amount of room as the M3. I feel like the M2C seat sits very low in the car in fact. One of the reasons I love the new (well M4) seats. As soon as I get in the M3, I lament the nice low seating available in the M2C.

It's not about the headroom, just a feeling that you sit high relative to the cockpit and everything else it feels like. I didn't feel this in the F82. I have no idea on the E9x because I've never been in one. It just doesn't feel like a sports car seating position. I'm sure it's minor and something you will get used to. It might even be beneficial from a vision standpoint, but it feels weird to me.
