If you can't fit in an e36 I would'nt even consider and 8 series unless your gonna be driving from the back seat.
I suggest you step up to a seven series.

750IL or the 740IL -- the L bascially stood for longer ~ basically. It has a lot of room to move the seat backwards. Not sure on the extended length, but you can see in the pic below the rear window is longer than usual.

Not sure at all if this is true - but I was told that bmw's are balanced to accomodate drivers that weigh 150 lbs... maybe it's not meant to be.

are you serious? I only know like maybe 4 guys that weigh 150lbs.....depending on your height, 150 is pretty scrawny.

He is probably one of the biggest guys on campus and considering that he was a lineman in 1A NCAA football, he is a built mofo and one who i know could pounce the shit out of alot of people. Lets not make the stupid comments like that especially when you dont know him........thats was just plain messed up. There is always the option of ripping out the front seat like Hightower did in Police Academy

kinda messed up how people rediculing Levans5.....
My advice would be look for say a 5 series early E39 or E34 (quite affordable these days. Also look into a 7-series E38. The prices drop quiet faster then 3's and 5's.
