Driver height question

My local BMW dealers have no G42s for now and they won't for more than one month. I'm thinking about ordering the car without seeing it but, since I'm 1.90m (6'.2"something) tall, I'm afraid it won't accommodate my height too well.

I understand the electric glass sunroof may also lowers the roof height, though I would really like it. Also, is there a position/height difference between M seats and normal ones ?

Thx

I'm 6 foot even, sat in one and had good amount of headroom to spare. We only get the regular seats in the states, so no clue if there are any differences

It's a German car, Germans are fairly large people... so I assume head clearance in fine (in the driver's seat that is).

I’d say the front seat room is very similar to that of the 3 and 4 series. At 6’ tall I had no issues with it (car had sunroof). No surprise since they are all on the same platform. It’s behind the front seats where the interior and roofline significantly differs.
