I just sold my 1990 Mercedes 300e and I'm thinking about switching to a 318 ti (Spare me the MB hating drabble please, I'm a fan of German cars in general), My question is will I even FIT in a 318ti. I'm 6'3" and 240lbs. I had ample room in my 300e, which is close to the size of a 525.. Do you think I'll be comfortable in a 318? I was looking at some on craigslist and I don't want to waste the time of a seller going all the way down there to find out I dont even fit in the car. |  |  | | 04-29-2010, 06:57 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Gilbert Posts: 621 |
the seats pretty dang adjustable. and at 6'3 id figure its not that ur a wide person at 240 just tall and average fatness i guess you could say so yea. my cousins 6 2ish and has plenty of head room with the seat down. __________________

I am 6'3", but weigh a little less. I found that I always had problems fitting comfortably in anything but a german car (VW, BMW, MBZ...) I suspect that you will feel quite comfy in a 3 series car... Even more so if you get one with sport seats (even more adjustable!). __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

good luck with the purchase but im willing to bet something is wrong with the car for 1900 bucks. run the vin its either going to be a restored title or some crazy mechanical problem... but if its clean thats one hell of a find. __________________

I bought my ti sight unseen off ebay a few years ago.
On the way to pick it up I started worrying I might not fit into such a small car!
I was happy to find out it was not a problem. 6'2". __________________ ...
