I've been in the back of a G87. I'm 5' 10". I sat in the driver's seat and adjusted it for sport driving ie. fairly close to the steering wheel. Then I sat in the back seat on the driver's side. I had a lot of knee room but my head was scraping the roof. Just imagine going over bumps with your head scraping the roof already. I think 5'8" is about it for the back seat of the G87 unless you want to have your head kinked for the whole trip.

Sunroof or No sunroof? Interesting perspective, it’s definitely smaller (shorter) than previous cars.

Mine is too. That was the first thing I noticed when I sat on the back… much less headroom than the E82 (with sunroof).

Bodies are different, I’m 6 foot and don’t have to contort, but yes, it’s cramped for headroom comparatively.

Yeah that's true. Some people have long torsos etc. I'm fairly well proportioned. I'll have to admit that I scrape the roof in the back when I sit up straight. If I slouch down and let my knees rest on the seat back then the clearance is ok.

Why are you cross shopping a $72k max build car with a $110k used price on a 2020 used? But I agree.. M2 if there are kiddos
