I'm 6'3, long legs, and I love my m2. I came from an e92 M3 and prefer the seat adjustability and support in the m2. I did not get a sunroof for extra headroom, especially if i'm on the track with a helmet on I don't think the sunroof would have worked for me.

how much room do you have with helmet to the roof?

I’m 193cm and test drove one with a sunroof maybe 1inch or so headroom. Without the sunroof is the headlining higher ? Waiting for delivery of my m2

With the helmet on there are no more margins really. But I'm used to not fitting at all in most cars with a helmet. I think electric seats are slightly higher than the manuals I have and a sunroof takes a bit too of course.

I'm 6'6" ~300lbs with a 6mt, no sunroof, and I'm comfortable but I've pretty much always had smaller vehicles. I've just gotten used to being a bit snug.

If anyone didn't convert cm to feet, my 196cm equals just over 6'5

6' 6" 230lbs.. we just got it on Saturday, but I've driven it quite a little bit. I like the seat extender on the front. Still have to find my perfect seating spot, but I've had no issues driving it so far, and actually like throwing the little thing around!

By the title, I thought this was a dating ad.

"Any tall guys with a M2... must also be dark and handsome. My name is Courtney. I'm a 24 year old dog trainer who recently moved to the bay area. My hobbies include long walks on the beach, poetry, and kissing men with fat wallets and sports cars."

I'm wondering if my seat position differs greatly from the taller guys in here.

I'm 191 cm and in my seating position i have ~2-3 cm from the scalp to the roof, a lot of the time I can feel my hair touching the roof which is a bit annoying. I imagine I would have to adjust the seat if I put a helmet on.

I'm picturing you with smurf legs and a disco perm. Either that or you need to lower the seat

Haha the seat is definitely at the lowest position and my hair short and low in quantity haha.

I'm wondering if the others are in the low-rider gangsta driving positions

On the contrary for me, I sit close to the wheel. I can place my wrist on the very top of the wheel and let my hand slope down behind the wheel (a classic test for correct driving position in racing and on trackdays). But I do sit with my legs quite a lot bent at the knees (sorry for my odd english trying to explain).

Wow you are incredibly tall!

That might be a problem with leg room and even head room, but since every one has a different size frame (especially at that height - some people might have wider hips and shoulders etc) you would probably be better off sitting in a 2 series coupe and seeing how you fit leg room wise. Then sit in an m4 with the same seats to determine if the seats fit your build.

That is the only way you can be sure it fits you well enough that you don't have regrets.
