No offense taken. I'm about 6'1" and 220 lbs. Chunkier than I like of course but not massive. I just can't get my legs and arms in a position that I feel well composed in.

I really didn't notice it at first. Driving a stick is fairly new to me so at first I felt that was more of the issue. Now that I am very comfortable with it, I've begun to notice those things that you never really find on a test drive.

Combine that with the road noise and poor visibility and the problems compound themselves. Maybe a sports car just isn't my thing?

I didn't really try out any of the competition. I felt that a 135i/335i would be too much of a stretch for the pocketbook so I didn't look at them.

I'd happily take suggestions for other rides to consider. I was pretty heavily focused in my Z fervor. I'm open to anything.

That is...if I end up getting rid of her. Don't want to lose my shirt obviously.
