Front seat legroom odd?

BimmerGuyFL78 · 06-12-2017, 03:03 PM

Anyone else notice that the foot space front legroom area for the passenger side is significantly less than the driver side? It's almost shocking how little it has for a large SUV.

You think the X5 is a large SUV?

Only within the BMW SAV's which would be their largest one. I am just saying does anyone else who rides in the front seat as a passanger also notice the lack of length to spread your legs out in the X5?

and yes, for some reason a lot less legroom on passenger side. wife's 2012 x3 too. hate sitting over there.

I find it odd and agree. The footrest angle is too high, requiring taller people to move seat all the way down.

I find it easier to bring the seat down and tilt the front thigh support up to ride up your knees for my leg room.
