bender · 07-04-2002, 10:19 AM

what im asking if anyone drives with the seat at its lowest hieght? My car was all the way up when I picked it up, right when i got in I lowered the seat. Im talking about the cushion and not the back support.

I do, but only because I'm 6' 1"

Otherwise, my hair would start scraping the ceiling!

bender · 07-04-2002, 10:44 AM

same here, im about your height.

CTOM9 · 07-04-2002, 10:57 AM

6'0 - and I need all the leg room I can get.

andy 323i · 07-04-2002, 11:03 AM

5'11 ...

jun14scr · 07-04-2002, 11:14 AM

i do, but im only 5'10

Im almost 6'3, and i have to slam the seat.

5'10" / seat at it's lowest position - then I tilt the front of the seat up just a tad. I'm obsessive complusive like that. I feel like if I drive around jacked up any higher, something bad will happen.

valerie · 07-04-2002, 11:29 AM

no or i couldnt see out of the car

Tim330ci · 07-04-2002, 11:31 AM

I'm 6'6, so I pretty much don't have any other option. Even with my seat all the way down, I have to lean back a bit to be comfortable.

amitv85 · 07-04-2002, 12:15 PM

i do...only 5'8'' tho...called rollin' deep fo da onez who juz dont understand

lol

big bad jon · 07-04-2002, 12:32 PM

i do, only 5'10" here... i got the front of the seat slightly leaned down too, so that i have that "going forward' momentum...

328iGuy · 07-04-2002, 12:51 PM

6'1 here and yes I have to lower it all the way......

View My Garage · 07-04-2002, 12:56 PM

6'1" here also... it's dropped down, except I have the front tilted up a little and back support reclined...

-=Stu=- · 07-04-2002, 05:28 PM

I keep getting the impression that my seat isn't going down as far as it should at the rear (cushion part). I don't want to be sitting so my eye's are just above the door level

but I'm sure it should go another inch or so lower, any way of checking ?
I'm 5'11, didn't quite make the 6'

Thanks,
Stuart.
