Interior Dimensions - Head / Leg Room

[bstoots]

Hello gents,

I am considering a 2002 for my next secondary vehicle but I don't know if I will fit in one or be comfortable driving one. I am 6'5". How does the 2002 compare to say an E28 or E30? How is the head room and leg room in an '02? Are there any gains to be had by using after market seats / seat brackets? Thanks in advance for the help.

There is a pdf on page 21 of the 1974 European brochure at www.my2002tii.com.

Look in the reference section.

I owned both an E30 and an E36 -- If you fit into either of them, a 2002 should be roomier.

I have aftermarket seats in my cars, Scheels in my '73tii and Recaros in my '74tii -- the Recaros are a bit lower and there is even more headroom than my '73tii.

Happy Hunting!

With stock seats in my '71 2002, my 6'7" Dad fit just fine. Changing the seats may change it for worse or for better. As long as the seat's ability to slide back and forth is retained, you should be ok. Also, a friend of mine has an E30 and I think I have more head and leg room in my 2002.

Ok that all sounds like good news. I'll have to get behind the wheel and check one out for myself. Thanks guys!

Woo, thanks for the dimension diagrams. You're a lifesaver sir!

plenty of travel with the stock seat rails and ample headroom in non-sunroof cars.
