I totally disagree that AW is a girly color. The M235i looks mean and aggressive in AW and anyone could rock it. I've never had a chance to see MW in person up close and would love to see a M235i in it! Unfortunately I wasn't able to take any side profile shots from a distance...the way the car was parked at the dealer I couldn't really position myself far enough way to get a decent shot.

The 6'1 salesman. Was his head hitting the roof while driving? Another reviewer said if you are taller then 5'10 you head would hit the roof when running over bumps. I am 6'3 and fit nicely in a 135i with plenty of head room. Hoping the same in the M235i

Nope, his head didn't touch while driving. But perhaps it has a lot to do with the seat back angle. I think he reclined it a tad, but he certainly appeared comfortable to me.

I am 6'3" and had plenty of room in the drivers seat with my normal seating position set. Normal for me is seat all the way down and forward enough so that my arms are almost 90 degrees when on 3 and 9. as I mentioned above, I really liked how in the M235 the steering column could extend more than the E9x so I could get my arms where I like them with a bit more room for my legs.

I did have issues when sitting in the back seat. my head was firmly placed into the roof. I would say over 6 foot is a no go for the back. not an issue for me as I plan to be driving. ;-)
