Moonroof headroom

Is there enough headroom in a 228i with the moonroof for a 6'-2" driver? Would hair touch the headliner? Would the seat have to be raked back a little?

Depends. I'm 6'1" with a long torso and it was close (less then an inch for hair room). I went with the moonroof delete on the M235i and I have no issues even with my helmet.

Spacing is the same in the 228i and M235i.

I'm 6' 3" and have moonroof. My driving position is seat all the way down and back. I have a good 4" above my head. I'm very comfortable in this car with moonroof.

I'm 6'3 as well. Surprisingly this car has a lot of room. I actually don't even drive with the seat all the way back or down. Great fit!

Depends on your torso. I'm 6'4 but tall torso and have a hard time finding a car I fit in, especially with a helmet. Had to get one without a sunroof, which is surprisingly difficult these days. Never had issues with legs fitting though.

Most important thing is to have manual seats

I have found that power seats decrease headroom and legroom. I am 6'7". I fit great in a 228 with sunroof and manual seats. I don't fit AT ALL in a 235. Also, I think leather-ette is more compliant than leather. May add a bit more room.

I am 6'4 and had no issues with sunroof and I prefer a fairly upright seat back.

If you have a very long torso, like a very upright seating position, and a high seating position then you should test a car out a dealership, but at 6'2 you should have plenty of room even with a helmet.
