The 1-Series may be BMW entry level line, but the 135i is anything but entry level in performance. It not only can be trimmed to have all the luxury as the 3-series, but is a much tighter, lighter and faster car. The cockpit is essentially the same size as the 3-series and 6'+ drivers will not have any problem with headroom (as with most cars if your closer to 7'+ you will have to do some shopping around and custom seat and rails would be in order).

I have been in the Exige and at 6' 4" you begin to have issues with visibility, Also there will be next to no head room when you decide to wear a helmet and track your car :biggrin:

You will not be disappointed with the exige, just looking at the car puts a smile on my face whereas the 1 and 3 series are so bland most people wouldn't give them a second look. I suggest the BMW M coupe as an alternative to the Exige, great character, comparable performance, more luxury, more room and great fun on track days!

Thanks to your recommendation and after much deliberation and investigating i just bought a 2007 BMW M coupe. They are a sweet car and you don't see many of them on the road.

Why buy a new car when you can biuld one. A nice 64-66 ford Folcon is a good start. A little 6.0L DOCH with a suppercharger. All old and new mustage part with work on it. NOt everyone has one.

I saw there were a couple for sale in Kelowna. I bought mine in Cali. Is yours the one on the lot?

Because it's been proven that people that drive such a car can't spell. :biggrin:
