I'm trying to get my hands on an M3, but I just came up with what may be a fatal flaw. How big are they inside? I am 6'3 250lbs, not a small guy, and from pictures they don't seem really big, nor do the people driving em. I will probably change seats soon after I get it, so if I change the seats, would I be able to fit comfortably and not tilt my chair into the backseat to clear my head of the roof?

Well I weight about 150, so all things being equal I should beat you in a race. Just Kidding.

I think there is a lot of room. If you are like 6'9" you might have an issue.

I'm 6'2", 175 lbs, with about even legs and torso length.

I don't sit with the seat all the way back, but I'm close on the headroom when sitting in a proper driving position in the stock seats.

I'd say you would have plenty of room. I have seen guys in them as big as you say you are and they're fine. To be safe, I would recommend some aftermarket seats though. Maybe even custom brackets so they don't sit too high. E30 M3s FTMFW!

6'3" 225 and have plenty of room.
The hard part is now finding a nice one at an OK price!

im 5'2 195 and i find it hard to shift sometimes

Dude, I'm 6'5" and 257 lbs and I fit fine in the E30 M3. I bought mine in Florida and drove it back to Missouri. I slept in the car a couple times without any major discomfort.

I also did a lot of driving with kids in the back seat which means I had to move the driver's seat forward. I was able to still work the clutch and drive while giving my son enough leg room behind me.

That's car love. :)

Just get that thing, you'll fit fine.....

Yup, if you love it enough... you'll make yourself fit ;)

Well clearly if this guy fits then you should have plenty of room

Yea, I've been up the dealer's butt for 3 months now. He has had it at a friends house doing body work, supposedely actual high quality stuff, replacing problems with metal etc. however this friend has been doing it on the side and more as a favor for him so he still hasn't gotten it back or I would probably already own it. Now from what everyone has said I no longer have any reservations before I jump on it and grab it from him for what is basically a steal

"I've been up the dealer's butt for 3 months now"

"replacing problems with metal etc."

Not sure which of the above I would worry about more?
Seriously though, if make-shift rust repair is going on
either get involved now, or run like hell.
