Some of it is also smart packaging. Our 1er had much thinner seats than a friends S5. Even though the Audi had more space inside, it was actually easier to get comfortable in the 1er.
I've been shopping cars recently and it's amazing how much more functional space German cars have than Japanese. It's rare to be able to move the seat far enough back in many Japanese cars just to fit my height, much less tall folks, but most German cars have plenty of adjustability.
I had a colleague from Germany drive my old Z3 M Coupe and he was 6'8". It wasn't exactly comfortable, but he still fit.
