I've been driving my new IS for a little over a month now and can't help but notice that front seats seem too short for tall drivers. I'm 6' 2'' and I've found that the headrests don't go high enough and I'm not getting the proper back support (my upper-back starts to ache as I'm driving). Have any other tall drivers had similar issues with seat comfort?

 

6' 5" and no problems here.

 

thats why i love bmw seats, i find them way more comfortable and adjustable comparing to ours.

 

one of my close friends is 6' 4", and she doesn't have any problem with the front seat. she adjusts her headrest too, but as far as back problems, i doubt she has any back problems. she has a 250 of her own, and she finds the seating aspect perfect for her usage. i've noticed with some of my friends that the front passenger seat somehow hurts their backs more, but there are ways to adjust the seating and lumbar, i believe.

 

yea the seats work for tall people. but cancel out the entire back seat. i also have back problems i just use a back support thing to make sure my back is straight instead of arched all the time

 

Supposedly the F seats sit almost two inches lower than the ISx50 since it does not have the cooled/ventilated duct-work underneath it. I don't have any issues with seat height, but the support could be a little better. Upper back, and seat bottom areas need a little more padding for long drives.

 

She? Holy crap! Zena warrior princess!

 

I'm 6'4" and they work fine for me. Do you have a freakishly long upper torso or something? Yah, back seat is gone, but i just have a little trash can back there anyways.

 

im 6 4 and my head hits the roof before the seat becomes too short. if that makes sense

 

Gangsta lean works well for me.

 

6'4", 197 lbs. and all is well. I had to "mess" around with the settings before I found what was acceptable.

 

Note..there is a seat adjustment that makes the seat go up and down/vertical...

Also, the Japanese don't know crap about making 'sport seats'. They need to go spend some time with German Engineers
