Now I love the sound of the Z4M coupe for it's drivability, but am a bit concerned by various comments I have heard on the "cramped cabin". I'm about 6'2+ tall, not ideal for most sportscars. I'll probably have to testdrive it anyway :-) , but is the car comfortable for someone of my height? thanks

I'm 6'4 and not exactly slim. No problem. Getting in and out though can be tricky. LOL.

I think that the crux of the problem centres around the length of ones upper body. I am a mere 5'9" but only just fit comfortably. I also have an Ultima GTW and so am used to fitting snugly within a vehicles cockpit. One comment I will make is that a splash of colour ( in my case Imola red seats and door card centres ) certainly helps to make the cabin feel less encompassing and I think that may be largely due to the fact that the headlining is black and borders on making a car with a full black interior seem claustrophobic, a very personal thing I know but worth bearing in mind when purchasing.

Indeed, I specifically didn't want a black interior for this very reason. I luckily found a 2 tone grey and stone. Looks fantastic, and keeps the cabin feeling a bit lighter.
