From 328 to 228 convertible

legaleye3000 · 10-28-2016, 10:43 PM

My local dealer is looking to get rid of a 2016 228 convertible and my lease is up on my 2014 328. I'm 6 foot. I test drove it and it seemed fine, but you never really get the feel for the car until owning it for awhile.

Can anyone around 6 feet talk comment on comfort of driving in the 228? It has sport seats if that makes any difference (my 328 does not). Thanks.

Any other comments regarding 328 vs 228 are welcome too.

Im 6.1 and also traded my 328 for an 228. You wont have any headroom issues unless the vert interior is smaller. You wont regret it.

I'm 6'3" and 235 lbs. Wife's 228i convertible is very comfortable, albeit with the front seat nearly all the way back and lowered a bit.

I'm 6'4 and went from an F30 to an F23, I had no issues. Car fit like glove but headroom was not a problem.

Putting a passenger behind me, that was another story.
