Can four 6" tall guys fit comfortably(or survive) on 5-hour drives in a 530i/540i? …Weight range 175 to 218 pounds (me being the 218)

5-hour drives such as Miami to Orlando… or LA to Vegas

[1987illini]

Yes. Without question.

Yes. I'm 5'11", 190 lbs and when I adjust the driver's seat to my seating position, I can fit behind it no problem. My wife and I did the Los Angeles to Vegas drive not long ago and it was very comfortable in the front seats, with lots of room in the rear seats too.

I have an i5 eDrive40 but I believe the car is the same size as the 530i/540i so you should be good!

Lol. How can 6" tall guys even reach the pedals? Or see over the dash? I assume you meant 6' tall guys. So yes, they should fit quite comfortably.

I am 6 ft 2 and 5 Series is really comfortable car for a guy like me.
For a contrast - I have also i4 M50 and feel cramped mostly on the width - the door handle is too close to me knees and I cannot move back because my kid are screaming "dad, my legs! Move forward!" .. so i4 is mostly for my wife and 5/i5 series for me

I'm 6'4" with most of my height in my legs. I test drove an i4 and was turned off by how if I adjusted the drivers seat to where I was comfortable, the seat behind it lost all leg room.

Compared to my old A4, where the seat behind the drivers is still usable, if a bit tight.

In the i5 I haven't tried out the rear seats but I suspect they'll be totally fine.

I’d say yes I’m 5’11” and can sit in the front and back with relative comfort. It actually was a test I did after setting the driver’s seat and then moving to the back seat to make sure we could still take it to dinner with friends.

Easy. Did 6 trips off 8-10 hours last 5 months. No issues.
6’2”

Edit: just saw that you’re with four. Also yes, one of these were with friends. Can’t stretch your legs but aparts from the backseat is more spatious than the x5 according to one of the passengers.
