I'm 6'3" and have no problem with the seating. I don't doubt that you are uncomfortable. What I suggest is that you make sure the seat is "tilted" as far back as possible. The base will tilt quite a ways back and support your legs. If you don't have power seats, there is a lever on the right side ...

Do a search to find out how to access the lightbulbs on the back of your instrument panel, then, remove the service light bulb and keep it as a spare.

Is it an automatic? Try running the shifter down and up a few times, then leave it in neutral and try again.

:lol: They have got to be kidding!!

I have never seen such a crock of s&*t. Ask them where they got their data and have them show you the studies that were done to support the claim.

Steer clear of this one.

I have one of each. A '90 740GL Wagon and a '96 850GLT Wagon.
The 740 is very reliable and parts are cheap. It's also very easy to work on. I would jump in the 740 right now and drive it across the country no questions and it has 314000km on it.
The 850 (a recent adventure) is extremely fun to ...

Did you check the exhaust system alignment? The torque produced by the engine when in gear with the brakes on will tend to pull the the exhaust one way or the other. This can cause it to contact the frame rails or body if there is limited clearance to begin with. Putting the car in nuetral releases ...
