Best car for tall guys? (6'5 and taller)

I've found that the 2008 335xi is larger than my 2006 325xi.

Is the 335si a coupe or sedan like the 325xi? And they are both the same does the 335xi have no moonroof and the 325xi has one?

If they are both sedan and same moonroof status than they have the exact same size interior. Check the seat position.

Most comfiest vehicle I've sat in and lowly priced/fun to drive is the Honda Element, yes it's a box, but economical, and fun if you get the SC version. LOADS of headroom. I'm 6'1" and I had alteast a foot of headroom....

I found the Z4 has lots of room for a tall driver with a good steering wheel position. Also, the Mini Coopers I found have lots of room for a tall driver.

I think i'll look into trying to lower the electric seat further in my car so i can get a better position behind the wheel without having the wheel tilted up like a truck. I can't even wear a helmet properly for track day without sitting with my head bent sideways and the seat angled way back.

None of the porsche cars fit me and the dealer offered to order an extended seat rail but quite frankly i don't want to be sitting that far back with my arms extend straight just to fit.
