Newbie - will I fit in a Z4?
Hi,
I've admired the Z from afar for a while, and whilst I've had e36 & 46 M3's, the Z appeals due to the uniqueness of the shape - the question is whether I'm going to fit in one.
I'm 6ft4, and whilst that might not necessarily be a problem for others, I seem to have a longer body to leg ratio, meaning car like the Boxster/Cayman are a no go (unfortunately) - I end up with my head in the roof and my eye line at the top of the windscreen
I wanted to ask if there are any kind Z4 owners in or around Camberley (Surrey/Hant/Berks border) that would be happy for me to sit in their car to see if it would work for me? It would be very much appreciated!
Cheers
Chris

Can't help with a test drive, as I'm midlands based. But, I'm 6"7' and fit.....just....kind of. Getting in and out isn't pretty, I slide in and roll out. It's much more roomy than my previous S2000 and have no head room issues.
I hope you find one to test, i think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

thanks, I hope so too.
Should add that I'd like a coupe, and in terms of sitting in one, any variation will do perfectly for sitting in

Ditto mate - can we start a 6'7" club I've owned two E85's - I have 36" inside leg as well and can fit reasonably comfortably
