6'7'' potential buyer of an M4 (NJ Monmouth County)

Unlimited head room is only partly true with the verts. I want to make sure I fit in the vehicle before sourcing and buying a car (most likely from an out of state seller to get a deal).

I was wondering if anyone in Monmouth County would be willing to meet up to see if I can make the ergonomics work! I have crammed in many "weekenders" in the past and am hoping to find a good balance with this vehicle in terms of extreme performance and fitment.

Let me know and thanks!

One of my kids is 6’6 and fits in both the drivers seat and passenger seat. Head room is not an issue. The whole thing is quite roomy. Sorry I don’t live closer to you as you would be more the welcome to try it out. We don’t have carbon buckets. Inside dimensions are much like a regular 4 series coupe. I had an M440 before this.

I don’t have an M4 I have a M3, I suspect the head space is very similar in the front of the car. My brother is 6’6” and like 260. He loves it. I’m traveling for work right now but if you want to make the trip down to Toms River you’re more then welcome to see if you fit in mine.

Your proportions are important. You may have legs that are long or short for your height. Legs are my problem. I wear pants with a 38" inseam and fit with carbon buckets. (no room to spare) If you have shorter legs, I suggest that you do not want a sunroof.

How do you like the carbon bucket seats? In my mind, they’re a 50/50 with helping or hurting.

Missed the c&c because I was traveling. Hopefully I can fit and I’ll see you at the next. Where do you find the meet up time and dates?

I like them and it's a daily driver, mostly short trips. I'm 200 lbs. If I were 250, I might think otherwise.
