I sat one of these thinking there would be room for my 6'4" 192cm frame but it felt so cramped. Reading the spec I thought this would be the perfect car for me. What alternatives would you all recommend for a larger engined petrol "drivers" car (>5 cylinders ideally).

What kind of car are you used to?. I ask because while the BMW, like most German cars, has plenty of length, sitting quite low with a bulky transmission tunnel beside you could make it feel cramped if you are used to something of a different style/design.

BTW, my pal, also 6'4", happily used a VW Lupo for many years, which was at the time, VW's smallest car. He fitted fine, but nobody could sit behind him as the back of the front seat, when slid right back, was only an inch or two away from the front of the rear seat!.

What about an Audi A8 with one of their 'comfort seats'? It's a big Bavarian car suitable for big bulky Bavarians. That particular seat (standard on some models) is full of electric motors which adjust its angles and curves into a remarkable number of positions. Being tall (but not as tall as the OP) I find the best bit of it is the way the front of the seat will extend to provide more thigh support which is often so lacking in cars.
