6'4", 275lb, size 14 foot guy in a 135i?

mrhyde · 02-05-2008, 08:19 PM

I am really excited about the 135i and want to pull the trigger on one. Will a big guy fit comfortably in one?

NJKSC27 · 02-05-2008, 08:25 PM

hey mr hyde! yes you will. there have been numerous topics covering this issue...try a search and that might be more detailed then my horrible "yes" answer

welcome aboard

Likely. Go down to the dealership and check out the 3 series. The space available for the driver is almost identical in the 1 series. Also be sure to check out the sport versus non-sport seats, so you can see which you can fit in/deal with.

You can always test drive one and find out. I think you'd be better off in the 335i coupe though. Its a little bit more roomy.

mrhyde · 02-05-2008, 08:42 PM

Thanks for the quick answers guys. I was wondering about the stock seats vs. the sport seats for a big guy. No auto for me, I need room for the big feet around the pedals. Can't wait for a test drive.

Dealers may have some demo cars shortly, just try and find one that does and give her a shot.

No question about it. Order away. Remember this is made by a German.

Even if I did piss you off once...I'm the same size, so we can both show up, and kick the crap out of anybody that comes w/in just a few feet of you...:thumbup:

BForbes · 02-05-2008, 10:32 PM

Big guy here! :drinking:

Do not listen to anyone about the sport seats. If you are a wide guy the seats will make you crazy uncomfortably. Adjustable bolsters do not help. Go try the sport seats on the 335i and tell me what you think.

I am tall and not exactly slim - with European size 36" trousers (no idea what the US equiv is) the sports seats just fit nciely. good for a snug fit, but i would not like to be any wider than 38"-40". The side supports would cut into the thighs if you were much wider tbh.
