I have an E39 M5 and am considering a switch to an M235i. Headroom in the M5 is a problem for me with a helmet. I'm 6'2" and with a helmet i have to recline the seat back more than I'd like and then slide up closer to the wheel. Based on my research and reading other forums here (which were very helpful), it sounds like the 2 series will have more front seat headroom than the E39, and will generally be able to easily fit tall guys well over 6'2". Can any tall guys comment on headroom when wearing a helmet? Both for cars with and without sunroof? I'm in the US, so this would be for US-spec cars with electric seats, which i understand are set higher than manual seats.

Thanks for any input.
