Front Comfort

The 2006 BMW M Roadster sits low to the ground, like any sports car, so entering and exiting requires developing your own style to make it fluid and comfortable. Once seated, the leather-covered bolsters rise at your sides to keep you firmly planted. Those with wider girth might find the seats a bit tight and the sparse padding can get a bit uncomfortable on long drives. Legroom is adequate but those with long legs might find the door pull interferes with their left knee when resting it on the panel. On the console, designers added a padded area to combat this very issue. The emergency brake also interrupts what should be a flat resting area for the driver's and passenger's arms. The M Roadster's best interior attribute is the fat, leather-wrapped steering wheel. It's hard to wrap your hand around this wheel and touch your fingers to your palm, it's that thick.
