Thanks ADC, I saw that one and I'm considering it while awaiting further info from the. Not so sure about this one as I'm in California and the car is on the East Coast. I'm hoping to find one a bit closer to home.

Sedan, 5sp and no sunroof has got to be the toughest combination to find.

Tha's what I think as well...thus the plea for help. I need the extra room of the non-sunroof sedan, but, may go with a sunroof if I can't find one. It really comes down to the car itself and the condition and maintenance history. If I find the right one with a sunroof, then I might just have to go with it. I sold our SUV and currently have no car but hope I can be patient until I find one.

OK...here's my advice, come drive my car:)
You don't have to, you can always just hit your local dealer - Weber right?

In any case, you'll find the the seat adjustments on the "lux" seats will more than suffice. I'm 6'1" and I fit fine, with room to spare.

I would definately like to take you up on the offer...not sure when we plan to visit my brother in Menlo Park, but before we come up, I'll contact you.

I've been to weber and an independent here in Visalia. I've played with the seat adjustements on a number of 3 series sedans and coupes. I know I can't get a coupe and the sedan is the only way to go. I also have to worry about space for a helmet since I'm going to be going to the preformance driving clinics. I'm going to Weber again on Saturday to see what they have. If the sunroof doesn't turn out to be a factor, that would make things much easier.

I'm 6'4" and longer through the torso, not as much leg I guess. That is why it is a bit tight.

Yeah, I'm the opposite.
The manual seat, when I was looking, seemed to adjust lower than the powered one.

Besides, the best combo is a manual, heated Vader, but I don't think you'll find that in a 4 door without a sr:D

Bring your helmet for your test drive:D:D
