Seats

Why does the current 8 and previous 6 coupe front seats cannot be pushed all the way back? Hits the backseat. Yet on a 4 series coupe you don't have this issue?

The 8/6 series design team are all under 6 foot tall (like me). Sorry mate that was the best I could come up with.

I've got the 8 series convertible and I've got the seat touching the rear seat. I'm 6'1" and my legs reach. I'm basically all the way back, further if not as far as in the 4 series.

I've got way more legroom in my 4 than my 6. The 8 is no different, can't put the seat all the way back without crushing the rear seat which isn't recommended.
